Feature Request - _RunFSIScript #4

Open EricM81 opened 1 week ago

EricM81 commented 1 week ago

I'd love to have an FSI implementation of _RunPythonScript. I work with non-developers and need a clean way to give them scripts without them needing to look at a code editor. They are familiar with executing Python scripts, so following that UX would have the least friction.

Could be used from a button with the - operator, i.e., -RunFSIScript C:\Users\EricM\Source\Repos\RhinoFSI\doTheThing.fsx Could be called interactively as _RunFSIScript, where it pops up a file open dialog to select and run a file.

Yes I want that feature too. Maybe compiling the script first to save the few seconds startup time too?

Compiling scripts for faster loading is already possible

There are several ways to achieve that.

Would that be over a trusted local network or sharepoint? Do their PCs have the dotnet SDK installed? Are you willing to install and update Fesh.Rhino on those PCs?

Already today you could create a python command script that just loads the f# DLL created with the current "compile script" command in Fesh. This would have the fastest startup time and not require any installation on your colleagues PCs

I have no problem installing the Fesh plugin on each machine. Plus, I'd like to avoid the loading delay the first time you run a python script.

We sync between PCs with Resilio Sync. It's like rsync on Linux. The scripts, toolbars, plugins, and template geometry are pushed to a read-only on each machine's J:\ drive. When the master machine updates anything, even plugins, the rest of the team implicitly gets updated.
