    bwana4swahili got a reaction from Chris B in Astrophotography Stack Not Working   
    I don't have the internet bandwidth to upload large files.  I'll just stay with Photoshop and PixInsight to align/stack astrophotography subs.

    bwana4swahili reacted to longstock in Does AP support command/console parameters?   
    It's been a pain in the ass everytime I try to do a HDR or focus stack from Lightroom into Affinity Photo as I would have to basically do Select photos in Lr --> Edit in Affinity Photo (external editor) --> Close all the tabs in AP --> open HDR Stack window in AP --> add photos --> click 'Run' every single time!
     
    As a software developer myself, I think it would be useful and quite easy if Affinity Photo could expose command line options such as a '-hdrstack' then some one like me could create custom launchers that can be added as Lightroom external editors that then launches AP with specific windows opened and prefilled.
     
    I've done some testing and basically Lr calls any external editor (e.g. Affinity Photo) as follow:
    photo.exe "photoPath1" "photoPath2" "photoPath3" If AP could support application launch parameters then I could write dummy 'editors' that will get added into Lr as external editors and call AP with the relevant command parameters.
    Here's an example, say if I want to do a HDR stack and AP could provide a '-hdrstack' command then a dummy Lr external editor can just call the following:
    photo.exe -hdrstack "photoPath1" "photoPath2" "photoPath3" New workflow would then just be Select photos in Lr --> Create HDR Stack (external editor) --> Click 'Run' in the AP HDR Stack window
    It should then open AP with the HDR stack window open and the photos added and ready to go.
     
    @R C-R without going in depth. You can basically launch any applications on any platform via command line. As far as AP goes, it receives the command line options and parameters the same way on both MacOS and Windows. It's just a matter of exposing a command line option and handling it internally which shouldn't require any platform specific code.
