Launch softwares without addon

Community Guides
1

We made an internal script that enable us to launch softwares with AYON without making addons.
The question came up if we could share the script, so here it is (along with some GIFs how it works)

Features:

  • Create empty file (with anatomy and ayon database entry),
  • Version up,
  • Open from pre existing template,
  • URL (for anything web based Miro, Figma etc),

Whenever a new software is needed any user could add it in the additional applications and then it works. Obviously any publishing needed will be done using the tray publisher. This is very hacky and sometimes hard coded for our needs, but here you go anyway

That’s a very creative solution! I love it! We don’t really need something like this at the moment in our workflow, but I will surely keep this in mind :two_hearts:

I see that you bat file is referencing a binary file instead the file you attached, I guess that exe is actually a compiled version of the python module using nuitka, py2exe or something similar?

Thank you!

It’s weird but it works :slight_smile:

Yes you are right the binary is just a compiled version to make sure it works on any machine
