Adding Dry Run Option #58

Closed IAmVigneswaran closed 6 months ago

IAmVigneswaran commented 1 year ago

@orchetect I believe right now our tool/library would throw an error during the extraction operation if it detects any.

Is there a possibility where the tool might throw an error half-way during the extraction process? Which can result with in-complete image set?

In anticipation of large complex timelines, I am wondering if adding a --dry-run would make sense?

When enable, MarkersExtractor would perform the scan of the FCPXML base on provided switches/options without starting the image extraction. It is somewhat similar to --no-media #40.

But the difference its, it won't create the done.json file at its first run. Upon successful passing of Dry Run, MarkersExtractor would perform than start the actual extraction operation.

Any thoughts?

Valid idea, but would require an extensive refactor.

I believe we can defer or close this feature.
