Passing an options file

Is it possible to pass an options file to the native Windows version of ODM?
I often mistype the options or forget something, so I end up with inconsistent runs.

Oh that’s an interesting question… Maybe you could read out from a file and pipe it over to ODM, but I have never tried.

cmd or PowerShell?

ODM Console, but looks like a CMD window.

You can use a settings.yaml file. It’s not very well documented, but you can put it in your project folder to use it instead of passing command line options.

github.com

OpenDroneMap/ODM/blob/master/settings.yaml

---
# A list of global configuration variables
# Uncomment lines as needed to edit default settings.
# Note this only works for settings with default values. Some commands like --rerun <module>
# or --force-ccd n will have to be set in the command line (if you need to)

# This line is really important to set up properly
# For docker builds, this should be "/" (or docker-compose won't work)
project_path: '/' # Example: '/home/user/ODMProjects'

# The rest of the settings will default to the values set unless you uncomment and change them
#resize_to: 2048
#start_with: 'resize'
#end_with: 'odm_orthophoto'
#rerun_all: False
#zip_results: False
#verbose: False
#time: False
#use_fixed_camera_params: False
#use_hybrid_bundle_adjustment: False

Thanks, I got it working when editing settings.yaml in C:/ODM (install location) but not from the project folder.
