Scripting

This section explains the different scripting and automation methods available in Siril.

Truco

Python scripting was introduced in the 1.3.5 development version. It is currently marked as EXPERIMENTAL. This doesn't mean it will eat your data: the interface itself is robust and has been tested through development: the present experimental nature of it is more to do with the fact that we don't yet know what users will do with this new capability and whether there may be issues or limitations that we have not foreseen, perhaps due to the constraints of packaging or consistency across the different operating systems.

Please try it out, either as a user by using scripts published on the scripts repository, or as a script writer. We welcome all your feedback and will aim to refine the interface throughout the 1.4 stable series and 1.5 development series.

If you want to debug your Python scripts at runtime, tick the box next to Enable Python debug mode. A tutorial detailing the steps to attach to the Python process is shown in Siril tutorial page.

Advertencia

Not all scripts are written by, or the responsibility of, the Siril development team!

With the introduction of Python scripting the power available to Siril script writers has increased enormously. With great power comes great responsibility!

You, as the user, need to ensure you trust the authors of scripts you use. 1.4.0 introduces the script repository. Some of the scripts there have been written by the Siril development team but others have been written by third party contributors. Please read the Key Info section regarding guidance for script authors, end users and the rules for the script repository.
