POP3 utilization?

How cool would it be to have Indigo, or (probably a better route) one of the plugins email currently running renders to you while you are at work at custom specified intervals?

I think that would be awesome - what do you guys think? Just a brainstorm...

Well I was thinking of making myself a program that would say...making different copies of the same render every 1 hours or so. So in my "render" folder I'd have the latest renders of each session, and a bunch of folders with the name of the .igs file they were created with and in these folders the "progress" renders. Names say (NameOfIgs)_1.png (for hour 1) and so forth.

But seeing as my 40 hour summer job is taking more like 60 hours of my time every week, I haven't had much time to do learn coding, much less code at all.

i have already writtes such program. but it's pretty buggy. i'll share it if you promise me to get in the IRC channel, test it and discuss about the bugs and features. otherwise make it yourself. i have no fun to fix a half-bug per day.

this could be bash scripted easily as well...

You can already do it.

Use Blat command line

Ah I see you could use Blat on Win32. Thanks for the link, that's a useful thing to know exists..

Indeed.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
######### Q&D Indigo Image Mailer
INTERVAL=3600                 # in seconds
NOW=$(date +%s)
for IMAGES in ~/indigo_v1.1.5/renders/*; do
   IMAGEDATE=$(date -r $IMAGES +%s)
   if [ $(($IMAGEDATE+$INTERVAL)) -ge $NOW ]; then
      ## Image modified within $INTERVAL, send it.
      ATTACHMENT="$IMAGES $ATTACHMENT"
   fi
done
tail -n 10 ~/indigo_v1.1.5/log.txt | \
mutt -s "Indigo Render Update $NOW" -a $ATTACHMENT -- heavily@tessellated.localnet

stuff that or something like it in your crontab... this uses mutt to send any images whose modification time has changed as individual attachments, with a tail'd bit of the logfile...
