Floyd L. Davidsonit means i get results with a lot less work. that's a huge plus.
So the fact that you don't have to develop your own set of tools, and just take one off the shelf and form you workflow around it somehow is better. Fine.
Except you of course missed the point that what was describe turns out to be faster, more efficient and more effective because the tools are designed to match the needed workflow in stead of the other way around.it's not faster at all. in fact, it's far slower since you have to write and debug the script. that script did not write itself and it wasn't perfect on the first try either.
You make it sound as if each job requires development of every shell script used!i never said that, but it might require modifications, possibly even significant changes to do what you want.
But of course on a normal basis that isn't required. These tools are developed over a period of years and are very precisely targeted at reducing wasted time with a specific workflow.tools which must be developed and maintained, which is not a zero cost.
And when something special that is different comes along, that your program can't do... you just have to slug through it.and when something special that is different comes along, that your script cant do... you just have to modify it so that it does, then test it and debug it, which takes time.
If it adds 5 seconds to each image processed in a couple of shoots with 1000 images, that's 10,000 seconds of time. If instead of wasting 2 or 3 hours, one spends 10 minutes writing a shell scrip that does it all in half an hour... You think your whiz bang click the buttons program is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and I see it as a drag on productivity.it's hardly a drag, but if you want to script a gui app, you still can.
I get better results in 1/3rd the time, so who is right?you do not get better results in 1/3rd the time. that's flat out bullshit.
