Archiving Flame project from CLI

[joe99]

Hello,

would like to use the command line tools to make a Flame Archive on macOS without a Flame license.

Does somebody has an idea why archiving is not working as expected?
(the same error code appears for all archives when trying to archive them. See below)

Thank’s a lot in advance!
.

I think you need to format an archive first. Try this:

./flame_archive -f -F /tmp/0072_Tests_Audio_2022031 -i 25

[joe99]

Thank’s John for the help. It seems to work But there is still an problem with the creation of the Archive…

[formatting the archive:]

imac-amin@imac-amins-iMac bin % sudo ./flame_archive -f -F /tmp/0072_Tests_Audio_20220311 -i 25

Automatic archiving

We all know that archiving sucks. But it would be great if we could have automatic archives that just happen at night while we sleep? I made this little python tool that id like to share for anyone that cares , you will have to modify some lines to make it work for your paths It will use NO license as achiving can be done without a license, which is great. What it does: It goes into /opt/Autodesk/project/ and checks each file in each project folder for a change , if it wasnt changed after …

this code might help you
