Quite Hot Imposing has a command line, for advanced use. This command is subject to the same license as Quite Hot Imposing, and you must run the standard app at least once to set up licensing. The command line is the “engine” used for all work, including running queues or using Enfocus Switch.

In Windows, the command line is called qi_applycommands . You cannot run the regular qi_hot application to use the command line.

In Mac, the command line is called Quite Hot Engine.

Every command must include the following options:

-source fileordirectory – the input to be processed. If the source is a directory, this is treated as a “job folder” and all files are combined before processing.

-target fileordirectory – where to put the result. This cannot be the same as -source. If a directory name is used, the source file name is appended. However, if you use the Split/Merge (partials) command it may write multiple files, or create a subdirectory.

-control xmlfilename – the XML commands used to control the work, created using Quite Hot Imposing (File > Edit XML file) or exported from Quite Imposing Plus.

There are many other command line options. Check the DOCS folder within the installation for a command line specification.
