TouchDesigner Best Practices: Demystifying the .bat file

In this video, we will take a look at using .bat files to start our TouchDesigner projects. You will learn how to set up a .bat file, how to pass variables from the .bat file to TouchDesigner to customize startup options, and more!
I use this technique all the time in my installations, ensuring that TouchDesigner (and any other necessary programs, processes, etc) are all launched precisely as needed. It is way simpler than it may seem, so I hope this helps you too!
Project file contains both .bat files, TD project and /dat folder with python extension: / best-practices-100653539

Hey! Audio is a bit low compared to your other videos. I don't know what is your mic setup for these, but if you're using a laptop mic please consider using your android/ios phone as a microphone and propping it up to your mouth level.
Other than that, great video as always!

But only on Windows, or?

mac os has .sh files that are pretty similar in functionality, just a few configuration differences you should be able to google
