no way to turn off tar output

[dericed]

I found that in the current version of camera_cards, there seems to be no way to turn off the tar output. There's two flags to handle the outputs.

  -t tar camera files and folders into a tarball, compressed with gzip
  -a create packaged AIP; this is the default option, but you can use this flag to specify you want an AIP alongside a tarball (e.g. '-ta')

But regardless, the tar is output. Should I change it so there's no tar output unless -t is set, and no aip output unless -a is set? Or we could change syntax to something like -t y -a n (for yes to tar and no to aip)?

Thanks @dericed

Should we just make -a creating an AIP without concatenated the video files (just sort files) and -ta to tar the result AIP into a compressed tallball?

For the default option (no flag), would we ever need a tarball for the AIP with concatenated video files? @BleakleyMcD

@dericed I don't think we are getting tar balls unless we use the -t flag... @chialinchou1 confirm?

based on what Chialin is suggesting, how about: -a = make the aip, don't concatenate the files -c = concatenate the files, don't make the aip -t = make a tar of files and folders, don't do anything else

so, we could have combos like -ac or -ct or -at

I think -ac is probably the most commonly used
