Hi all,

I'm facing an issue where the hbatch executable cannot be found while trying to execute jobs via a Tractor blade. The environment is set with the PATH variable, but attempts to run hbatch with specific commands for rendering operations fail, reporting that the executable is not located. Is there a way to make sure hbatch is correctly recognised, so Tractor won't bug out?

My render blade is on Windows 10. My project path is on a NAS device, with $JOB set to Y:\templates\template_tracor. Also, is the fact that windows uses backslash instead of forward slashes in the path problematic for hbatch?

Thanks
Steve

It would be great to get an answer to this.

@SideFX can we please make these functions hotkey-able, pie menu-able and so on for the sake of consistency in making custom UIs?

I basically want to run Houdini with many custom keys, and pie menus and so on, but I find random commands are not available to be customised.

For example, I spent a long time putting together a custom modelling and a groom setup that keeps being frustrated by many functions not being available to customise.

It makes for a very annoying experience.
