krites reset exports

What krites reset exports does

Delete everything under the shoot's export/ directory — for when the exports were rendered from stale or wrong verdicts and you want to start the delivery again. It is independent of the cull: verdicts, ratings, develop edits, the analysis cache and the originals are all untouched.

Usage

krites reset exports [--shoot DIR]

Flags

Flag Description Default
--shoot Shoot directory the current directory

Plus the global --output text|json.

Why the export ledger survives

.krites/exports.yaml — the append-only record of each export run, its frames, verdict set and render settings — is not deleted. Clearing the rendered files means "render these again", not "this delivery never happened". The files are regenerable from the records; the fact that you chose to deliver them is not.

The reported file count can under-report

The count in the output only tallies files directly inside export/, not files nested in subdirectories. The deletion itself takes the whole tree regardless, so the directory is genuinely empty afterwards even when the number reads low.

Re-running the export

Because the verdicts and edit records are all intact, rendering the same set again is just:

krites reset exports --shoot ~/Pictures/smith-wedding
krites export        --shoot ~/Pictures/smith-wedding

Given the same records, krites export is deterministic — the second render reproduces the first.
