A tiny feature request

Hello Simon!

Is it possible to include a feature, in the plug in or the main program, that starts a certain action when a given amount of samples is reached?
This action could be the start of an external program or the sending of an email, a message via Telegram or Pusbullet or SMS via Twilio.
We already have this feature in the 3D printing community using Octoprint. 3D prints can take as long as a good 3D rendering.

Regards,
Eddy

Very interesting. Maybe a text alert?
This would only apply to a still image, or would animation also be available?

I think both would be welcome.

Hi,

Have you tried the Windows Task Scheduler? Should be able to do what you are up to :)

Best wishes,
Thomas

Hello Thomas,

that one is quite complex. I'm curious how it could detect the end of a rendering.

Eddy

Hi,

I'd go for idle state. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgYStG-qTEc
