Remote control, not headless

Software Siril
1

Hi,

I would like to send commands to Siril from another application. I understand that using the -p switch provides in and out pipes but it also starts Siril without a GUI, and my use requires the GUI. Is there any way to achieve this currently?

By way of explanation of the use case, I want to call Siril, pass the commands to set up and run a live stacking EAA session, and then stream images into the watched location and use the Siril GUi to view the resultant image.

Kind regards
Ed

Hello, it’s indeed not possible currently. I guess it would not be easy to manage the threads of the pipes, processing and GUI too.
For the use you are describing, you may stack with a headless instance of siril and display with another, or with another program.
