Recently made a command to autoexecute .gmic file as if it was a executable.

Software G'MIC
1

I’m not sure if any one else would find this useful. But, here’s something I made:

#@cli gmic: gmic_file,additional_argument
#@cli : Load .gmic file and automatically run it.
#@cli : If no argument for gmic_file exists, then it will search for main.gmic or a file named gmic in current directory.
gmic:
skip "${1=}","${2=}"
if narg($1)
	gmic_file=$1
else
	m __$0_load:"$""=files num_of_vars:=$""#"

	__$0_load ${files\ 0,.}

	p=1
	repeat $num_of_vars {
		current_file=${files$p}
		if isin(size('$current_file'),4,9)
			if same('$current_file'[0,4],'main')
				gmic_file=$current_file
				break
			fi
		fi
		p+=1
	}

	um __$0_load

	if !narg($gmic_file) error no_main_file_found fi
fi

0 => $gmic_file

if same('{x}','gmic') rm. $gmic_file
else rm. i gmic:$gmic_file
fi

if narg($$__main__) __main__ ${2--1}
elif narg($$main) main ${2--1}
else echo no_main_exist" "Ignored
fi

quit

Basically, it runs main or main command automatically if found in the .gmic file. I’d probably could extend this to search for main.gmic file within a folder too and then it’ll run that. Done.

Was using this for AOC challenge to keep it separate from my actual gmic things. But, I can see it useful for testing various commands in separate folder and gmic file.
