System Level Actions

System Launch

The System Launch command allows you to launch an external application installed on your machine. You can pass frame metadata to the external application's command line using the familiar metadata field syntax.

The most common use for System Launch is to provide integration with custom production management tools or applications that allow you to perform work on the current frame, such as paint or restoration tools.

To integrate with such a tool, you need to provide a custom irui file that places a button in SpeedGrade or FrameCycler UI. For more information, please visit Customize Command Console.

Note: For security reasons, System Launch commands are not sent to remote ReviewLink clients.

This example launches Notepad with the current frame file path and .txt appended:

<Command>
  <Label>"Test"</Label>
  <Exec>Command(System.Launch,"%windir%\notepad.exe" "{Src.FilePath}.txt")</Exec>
  <Tooltip>"Do the test"</Tooltip>
</Command>
