Hi can yawl please help me with understanding how to do this "Build screensavers from command line"
Could yawl please make a video that shows how to do this
Compiling screen savers automatically
I have read this and I just don't get it.
Overview
To produce a screensaver file or setup package automatically, I need to:
Generate a valid screensaver project file in XML format
Run the Screensaver Factory with appropriate command line switches
Following chapters describe how to implement both of the steps.
Creating a valid screensaver project file
Screensaver Factory project files are actually XML files of specific format. To learn the structure of project files, simply create a screensaver project file and open it in a text editor. Please note that the format is very strict, so the best way of generating valid screensaver project files is to base them on an actual file that has been created by Screensaver Factory. Currently there is no specification, so you will have to learn by experimenting.
Running Screensaver Factory from command line I don't know how to do this.
To produce a screensaver file or setup package automatically, run Screensaver Factory from command line with either -mkscr or -mksetup switch followed by full path to the screensaver project file enclosed in double quotes.
To produce SCR file: I am
c:\Screensaver Factory\scrfact.exe -mkscr "c:\projects\myproject.sfp"
To produce setup package: I am
c:\Screensaver Factory\scrfact.exe -mksetup "c:\projects\myproject.sfp"
You must make sure that the project file contains no errors, otherwise the Screensaver Factory will stop with an error message.
