Is there a way to open Renoise with the scripting terminal open? It would be useful for debugging startup issues with tools and in general not having to go through opening it when developing.
For example renoise --terminal would be nice.
Alternatively, renoise --debug-lua or something could print lua related logs to stdout.
i also wants this
I haven’t taken the time to look, but I wonder if launching the terminal is doable via a tool.
With that in mind, i also wonder if it would be doable to have Renoise accept custom CLI arguments which can then trigger a notifier in a tool. Then one could start Renoise with arguments to automagically run this or that tool or script.
Or just let Renoise accept a file path for a Lua script to execute at launch, so you can set up the layout, open the terminal, etc.
this should, in theory, open up the editor. but it does nothing of the sort.
if it did work, then at least on macOS, you could boot up Renoise, wait 10 seconds for it to boot up, and then press the shortcut automatically. of course that wouldn’t help with the initialization itself (if you want to see what Renoise does before it finishes initializing)
Not sure what you mean about it doing nothing, that button opens the terminal for me, this is what I use to open it right now.
I don’t want to automate opening it via emulated mouse actions, the reason I ask is to be able to debug first time startup logs for example (apart from convenience), hacking mouse actions in would similarly miss the first logs, and it would not be convenient to do either.
sounds like it’d be a good request for developers, and would be pretty neat to get going for sure
