batch processing commands
the files would be in a double quotes with a wild card in the current
directory, i don't know if i can write "%THIS_DIR%*.scad" kind of directory
so that the batch file can run on any pc and be a portable windows option
for batch processing scads, for others too, that's the intention. anyways it
works, will see if cmd.exe crashes after 10 files or something, quite
possible. i am after a one click solution for others and myself, not
learning powershell, batch, and makefile just so that i can make my slow
scad files :)

Better to use Python than shell scripts as they are simpler and more
readable and run on any OS.

ok it seems like it's working although perhaps it's not totally there, here
is what i did:
had to rename all the files with spaces " " to "_" because cmd.exe didn't
see them,
to do that:
1/ run powershell.exe from system3d/windowspowershell or just the run
console
2/ type cd "D:\my dir\batch dir"
3/ do this powershell command: Dir | Rename-Item –NewName { $.name
–replace “ “,”” }
4/ then run the script from a .bat file... FOR %%f in (*.scad) DO openscad
-o %%_nf.stl %%f
we can also write batch files from powershell for windows it's the new
cmd.exe since 2009 it has more flexibility and more ledgible, but it's
still
an entirely new code so only for those who want to learn powershell syntax.

No need to rename files, just use:
FOR %%f in (*.scad) DO openscad -o "%%_nf.stl" "%%f"
make and python are great if you already have them installed, but overkill
in this case.

make intended to save time and it may really save lot of time in some
situations.

Yes, although that only works if make knows about all the dependencies.
Otherwise a simple Makefile will only work when changing the top level
scad file.
In theory OpenSCAD can write the dependency information to make it work
in the general case, but I've never tried that yet.
ciao,
Torsten.
I used to write dependencies manually :-)

Could you describe your new workflow with batch processing Tim? I have been
busy with complicated projects in OpenSCAD and have come up with a workflow
that makes sense to me, but I am keen to learn any real programmers' best
practice.
I currently have a split like this:
- Library files I use all the time in 3 groups:
SCAD I have made
SCAD I have borrowed from others :)
STLS - Global parameters file, which contains:
Include/use commands to bring in the above
All my project specific measurements
Tolerance/Fudge factors
variables I may change - Sub-assembly files
Intermediate calculated parameters
Modules for each component in the sub-assembly
2D rendering for any laser cut parts - Final assembly
Include files for the components above
Call the modules from the sub-assemblies, in colour where
appropriate.
Any comments or suggestions on this, and how I could fit in batch processing
where I need it?
Cheers,
Alex

To be frank, I am just making analogy with C language workflow:
i.e. output .stl file depends on the relevant .scad file AND all its
dependencies - I guess the dependencies list includes the global
parameters file, include files, imported .stl-s and the like.
If that .stl should be generated with the same makefile earlier - this
is Ok, make can handle it.
I am not aware about details of your current workflow to say something
more detailed :-(

Beware, make can act strange when fed with paths or file names
containing blanks, non-ASCII characters or reserved characters like
ampersands or braces. This problem seems to be worse when using make on
non unix systems, btw. In hugin (http://hugin.sourceforge.net/), make
has been used for generating panoramas from multiple input images, but
it had to be replaced with a processor of our own in order to overcome
these problems.
With kind regards
