PJSR: Script VaryParams to execute a process varying a parameter

[Ioannis Ioannou]

Working like a charm. I'm finding myself using more and more this script, once again thank you.
(btw , I did not tested, is it working with a process container ?  )

Thanks for the comment,
Unfortunately it does not work for ProcessContainer (this might be possible but requires quite some work, not sure I will have the time to do it).  Also it does not work with scripts (this is currently a limitation of PI) or with process that only generate files (as CosmeticCorrection).  For this type of process I would need to find the outputDirectory and possibly prefix/postfix to adapt them between each run, unfortunately the names of theses properties is not standarized (I could probably find them in the most common cases - when I have the time).

Thank you. Actually I was joking for the process container. I'm fully aware of the issues involved.

Would someone kindly point me to instructions for using the *.js file as a script? Senior moment.

dave, you can just go Script > Execute Script File... and point the file explorer at the .js you downloaded.

Thanks. I should have remembered that!

You can also add it to the the PI script directory (C:\Program Files\PixInsight\src\scripts on windows), and use the menu Script / Feature Scripts and then Add or Regenerate (can't remember which one, I hit buttons until I see that the script was added).
Then the script shows under Script / Utilities like the built in scripts.

Thanks, bitli.

Version 1.2 has been attached to the first post.
Minor corrections in some error handling and made compatible with PI 1.8 (parameters do not work on RC1, but should work on RC2). There is no need to update if you are still using PI 1.7.
