I have looked into the possibility of batch processing to archive a large number of AEPs, but it doesn't seem to be possible.

Not being able to archive automatically causes a lot of inconvenience in the studio.
How do we send them to the render farm in their complete form?
How do we deliver 100+ AEPs to the client?
Wouldn't it be useful if we could give aerender.exe a "-collectfiles" option and specify the destination directory as an argument?
and could give app.executeCommand(); more option?
I hope After effects will become a Studio Ready product.
