I've done some more work in this area - see attached patch.
The major changes are:
1) A complete revamp of the way parameters are specified. This is best shown by
the output of the "--help":
** start**
usage: darktable-cli -i|--input <input file>
-o|--output <output file>
[-b|--bpp <bpp>]
[-c|--core <darktable options>]
[-H|--height <max height>]
[-h|--help]
[-I|--intent <intent name>]
[-q|--hq <0|1|true|false>]
[-O|--overwrite]
[-p|--profile <profile name>]
[-s|--style <style name>]
[-v|--verbose]
[-V|--version]
[-W|--width <max width>]
[-x|--xmp <xmp file>]
note: if used, "--core" must be last
intent names: image settings, perceptual, relative colorimetric, saturation,
absolute colorimetric
** end **
2) As can be seen from the above, there are three new parameters: --intent, --
profile and --style. The last of these requires the actual dt database to be
used so that following warning is displayed if that parameter is used:
**** --style specified - dt database will be used.
**** cli will fail if gui active or gui will not
**** start while this instance of cli is running.
I understand that removing the file path positional parameters will break
existing scripts. But, given that users of the cli are probably more computer-
savvy that most users, this will not present much of a chore - I hope. (The
reason I removed these positional parameters is that I think such things are
inherently evil.)
The gui presents other parameters that are dependant on the output file type,
e.g., JPG quality. These probably should also be included here as it appears
that the cli export uses the value that was last used in a gui export. This is
"not recommended" (tm).
Comments? Objections? Suggestions?
Cheers,
Kevin
