FTRACK_SERVER env variable for Ftrack Connect

Hi Mattias. Are there any updates regarding this topic?

We would like to set ftrack-connect for all the users in the autostart and if we can control the ftrack server URL, then they don't have to anything manually.

Even more, we would like to run it in the background. In this way, we don't have to disturb the artists and create confusion.

 

Or is there any other way to fill out the Ftrack Server URL automatically?

We haven't had time to look into this yet I'm afraid.

I think it should be fairly easy thing to do and if you have sometime to look into it I'm happy to put you in the right direction in the source code.

When you say run it in the background do you mean starting it without the window open up, but still have it in the tray?

It would be great if you can point me to the source code where this can be added.

This is exactly what we would like to have.

The login server url field is defined here:

The Connect main application window is created here, perhaps there is some flag that you could set to have it created minimised:
