Remove seq from jobname format (2025-08-13 18:59Z)

User

originally, these would go to seq\jobname, jobname_###### let's just remove the seq part.

Thought ProcessModifying code path

I need to change some code in the scripts/TalkingHeads Custom Render.js, especially around lines 51-52 where the output path is formed. The user wants to remove the 'seq' directory from the path, so the output should look like .../jobname/jobname_###### instead of seq/jobname/jobname_######. To ensure I catch all instances of 'seq', I should read the entire file and search for occurrences in both scripts. I'll use read_file and grep for that! Planning code modification

I'll run a parallel process to read the Custom Render.js file and search for 'seq' occurrences in the scripts directory, as well as check the cycles file if it's relevant. My plan includes making parallel calls to functions.read_file for both script files, since they're small, while also grepping for 'seq' to ensure I find all mentions. After editing with the apply_patch tool, I need to check for linter errors, but I might not need to since the repo likely lacks a linter config. Finally, I'll keep everything tidy and preserve indentation!


Im going to inspect the scripts/TalkingHeads Custom Render.js file and search for any other occurrences of 'seq' in the scripts to ensure we remove that directory component consistently.

Thought ProcessUpdating path configurations

The user wants to remove the 'seq' directory component from a specified path. They referred to a snippet in the TalkingHeads Custom Render.js file. Originally, paths included seq\jobname but now the request is to eliminate that part. I need to update eval expressions to reflect this change in both TalkingHeads Custom Render.js and TalkingHeads cycles_optix_gpu.js. The revised eval string will drop 'seq', ensuring consistency across both files while checking if any logic relies on that subdirectory in other places. Ensuring indentation consistency

I need to make sure the indentation in the files stays consistent, preserving the original tabs or spaces. It seems that Custom Render.js uses tabbed indentation based on my inspection. I'll preserve that as I make edits. The goal is to use apply_patch for changes and provide a minimal explanation afterward. Running lints could ensure there are no errors, but since there's no linter configuration, it's safe to skip that step. However, following dev instructions, I should run tests or builds after any significant changes. I'll handle edits and summarize briefly afterward. Applying patches to files

I need to apply patches to both files, ensuring I update the description string without changing "Final file path of where render output will be saved." I'll prepare to use apply_patch for both file paths, focusing on the replacement lines in diff format. It's important to ensure the context around the snippet is precise. Even though the tool isnt typically used in parallel, I can call it serially or maximize parallel tool calls. Ill prepare the patches and focus on the eval line adjustment, specifically removing 'seq' from scripts/TalkingHeads Custom Render.js. Applying patches concurrently

I want to adjust the code for both files. For instance, in JOB_TYPE, I will update the eval line by removing 'seq'. The updated line will look like this: "str(Path(abspath(settings.render_output_root), last_n_dir_parts(settings.add_path_components), jobname, jobname + '_######'))". I will also make similar changes in the cycles_optix file. After that, I'll proceed to use multi_tool_use.parallel to run both apply_patch calls at the same time. Once patched, Ill run a grep command to ensure no instances of 'seq' remain.


Im going to remove the 'seq' directory component from the render_output_path eval in both scripts/TalkingHeads Custom Render.js and scripts/TalkingHeads cycles_optix_gpu.js, then verify there are no remaining references.




Thought ProcessEnsuring rule compliance

I need to confirm that Ive followed all the guidelines: providing a concise answer, including a status update and summary as specified. I've already made the necessary edits, so the next step is to check for lint errors using the read_lints tool. I can run it for both files at the same time! I'll look for any additional occurrences of 'seq' beyond the eval lines, making sure everything is safe and unchanged. Let's get this done! Providing user update

I need to prepare a brief message for the user, letting them know that weve removed 'seq' from both scripts. The files will now save in the format root/jobname/jobname_######. If the user wanted just 'jobname' and 'jobname_######' under the root and last_n_dir_parts, thats also accounted for. I should mention that if Custom Render is involved, the output video file will remain in the same folder, unchanged. Now, lets run read_lints for those files!


I removed the 'seq' directory component from the evaluated render_output_path in both scripts so outputs now go to .../<jobname>/<jobname>_######. Ill run a lint check on the modified files.



  • Removed the 'seq' folder from render_output_path in both scripts/TalkingHeads Custom Render.js and scripts/TalkingHeads cycles_optix_gpu.js. Output now resolves to <render_output_root>/<...add_path_components...>/<jobname>/<jobname>_######.
  • Verified no other references to 'seq'.
  • Lint passes on both files.
