Compiled code and Property Windows

[moatdd]

I noticed that GraphEditPlus is capable of remembering the settings I chose in the Property Window of a filter (after saving a graph) - and that's a good thing.

Is there a way to get these same settings to be propagated into the compiled code? When I compile code and run it, the filter operates at default settings.

Not at this moment.
When a filter is saved to a graph file, it's being asked whether it supports IPersistStream, and if it does, then IPersistStream::Save is called. When graph file is loaded, IPersistStream::Load is called to restore filter state from the data stream. Technically we can teach GEP to save filter state to a string and in generated code load from it, but I'm not sure it's the right thing to do because it may cause different problems with other filters, complicate user interface and bloat generated code.

I'm OK with not being able to adjust the properties afterwards if the filter state is saved to a string

Alternatively, is there a way to autorun a saved graph just by double-clicking it or via command-line? Just trying to automate this part of the process.

Thanks!

Writing a little app which loads given graph file and runs it is pretty easy.
Just change BuildGraph to LoadGraphFile:

Fantastic, that's exactly what I needed! It works great! Thanks!
