Re: [QuadtoneRIP] QTR from command line on Windows?

Dear Richard.

All of this can be done much more eloquently with shell scripts (bash or something more complex like perl/python what-have-you) directly and then packaged into essentially a droplet (something Maestro is doing in the background already no-doubt).

I’m also unsure of what purpose this would serve other than to complicate matters more for an end-user . . .

best,
Walker
