Add option to start blender using custom command (not only custom binary)

[zepadovani]

Hi,

using Manjaro/Linux with a NVIDIA card, I usually start apps that will need to use the external card by running "prime-run <binary_path>". Is there a way to add such an option in the extension? That would be really usefull to take profit of my card features while using the extension...

Thanks for any tips related!

hm, as a workaround I think you can use a shell script. I do not have a linux on hand to try it out:

1. Create blender.sh

#!/bin/sh
prime-run blender "$@"

2. Register it in vs code settings as blender exe

    "blender.executables": [
        {
            "path": "/home/.../blender.sh",
            "name": "blender but really a script",
            "isDebug": false
        }
    ],

Can you let me know if it works?
