Is there a way to expose Lua API to external applications?
Something like Southpaw's Tactic,which is a digital asset management tool, so that it can automate workflow?
Or at least is there any command line option to run a Lua script?
Yes, there is.
You can get all command line options by calling
on the command line. This what you then get (see
--script and
--script-args):
