Hello Pix4D Team,

Are there any plans to add more features to the CLI in Matic to include batch CLI automation?

Hi @craig,  
I will check with the team to see if they have already planned this task. If not, I will add it to our list of future improvements.  
Could you please tell me how you would use this feature?  
Thanks again for the suggestion!  
Regards,

@craig projects are processed in the order they are placed in the queue. This means that once a project is completed, the next one in line will begin processing automatically. Does that help?

I also follow the approach that @Rhea_Garratt recommends. One feature I really like in PIX4Dmatic is the use of tabs: when processing multiple projects, I can set up the first one and start the calculation. While it’s running, I return to the home screen, create my second project, set it up, and start the calculations. The second project will automatically begin once the first one is finished.

That said, I anyways agree with your feature request — having command line interface (CLI) options would definitely be helpful for some of our workflows. Voted! 👍
