How to Close Softimage with out a Saving Question..

[islasyr]

Hello..
I have a little problem..

I need to Close Softimage by a command, When I've used (Quit) command a question of Save confirmation appeard every time..

So how can I force Softimage to close without this question ?

Maybe if I could reach PID of Softimage in Windows I can kill its process by a "Taskkill" batch command..

Any Suggestions??

Thanks..!

But why would you want to?

Killing the PID from within the application itself doesn't somehow seem to be very wise... ;)

Well..
I'm developing an addon that can updates itself by checking for a new version on server every time that Softimage starts up, and before any action that user takes..

So after updating I need to restart Softimage for better results..

That's it..

Please if u have any idea to restart Softimage..

Hm...the only way I can figure out, is saving a scene (for example as "null_scene") and then quitting Softimage via script. If saving is performed right before you hit the quit button, Softimage does not ask again to save the scene. Unfortunately I can´t find a preference concernig this issue...at least, this could be a workaround...

cheers,

Putting the update sequence in a startup event isn't an option?

Sorry it's not Just like this..
When u save your scene as a temp_scene or something like this and run a QUIT command Softimage will get it as a Change and asks again to save ..

I've try it again and again but.. no result..

So it's not a solution..

Mr. Hirazi Blue:
It's already in a startup event.. but after updating I need to restart Softimage and here comes troubles that I mentioned !!

I need to launch another Softimage and kill current one after updating my Addon..
I think it's the best way to restart the Application without errors..

Thanks really for your suggestions...

Why not just pop up a dialog and ask the user to restart the application to complete the install of the addon.
