Automated *.jsxbin file creation?

Is it possible to somehow run ESTK in headless mode and feed it coomand from command line like makeBin(_fromFile, _toFile)?

I want to automate this process but can't find any references on this kind of ESTK functionality.

I agree this would be very useful.

Hi Nik,

I would also be interested in a clean solution for this. So far, I've just used the dirty hack to remote control the ESTK Gui with AutoIt http://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/

But this is not very robust and also slow.

Cheers,

Mathias

Not holding my breath, but I will put a vote in for a native option in ExtendScript to be able to create a jsxbin file. Mathias, that actually is a nice work around to even make it possible though.

I'm sure Adobe as well as a few others would like to keep that code underwraps, especially given there is an entire business using jsxbin as one of many layers of protection by it's contributors.
