I use the command line all the time for renders as they go quicker than rendering in blender itself, so this'll save the aggravation of typos!

looking forward to the linux (preferably a .deb for ubuntu) version as i use both windows and ubuntu :)

how easy would it be to make a similar app for a windows client to tell a linux server OS to render something? at work I generally SSH into the server and manually set it rendering through that, which can be a pain having to manually cd though the folder trees.

any chance of a progress bar?

No, its a GUI for blender's command line commands.

I don't quite see where the paradox is.

You can run blender in the command line without the need for running its GUI part. In other words, you can use it as if its just a command line tool. This method is used for batch or scripted operations, render farming, et al.

Now this Blender Commander is a GUI for that command line approach of using Blender. I do believe some render farming tools for Blender also work this way.

I'm merely pointing out what seems to be confusing. I don't really condone nor abhor this Blender Commander thing.

But with the more and mpre features of Blender it get's outdated.

Second, the open-source/free-software philosophies have been had an almost incalculable effect on information technology and even software design. Witness Blender itself. Unfortunately, every silver-lining has it's cloud (to butcher a phrase) and the frankly toxic sense of entitlement it sometimes engenders is one of them.
