Post-Solve Script

You can create a tool script that runs automatically after each and every solve. The script to be run is configured in the Solver section of the preferences, either as a user-friendly name as found on the Tool menu, or as a full file name that ends in .szl (Sizzle), .py (Python), or .sia (Synthia). By default, the preference has the value “Post-Solve Script”.

The script should be short and fast with no user interface. It will run after every solve, including all refine operations, etc, not just an arbitrary ‘first’ solve. Your script should take that into account, which may require reversing actions it took after earlier solves. For example, a script that changes the color of any tracker with an error over 1.0 hpix to blue should reset the color of all the other trackers to the system default cookie value (8487555), in case in an earlier solve it had changed the color of a tracker which is now better.

The script will run right when the user closes the solving status dialog box.

If the user cancels the solve, it will not run.

The script will run during batch solves also; it will run before the export

runs.
