CLI Format Documentation
For anyone struggling to use the CLI to export a project into a format, you can see your supported formats with (while in the project folder):
datum project info
The formats available for --format
will be there under Plugins -> extractors
. I could not find this information in the documentation... even resorting to trying to read the code to figure it out. By pure luck and desperation, I tried this command and it's there.
To reproduce this, be a beginner trying a basic workflow:
- Oh, it supports YOLO-Ultralytics exporting, let me try that as the format.
- Oh, the format name is invalid.
- Well... Is there anywhere that shows the format arguments for the CLI, or somewhere that points me to them?
- Spend a long time trying to find it, or give up on the tool entirely.
This should be easy information to find (and if it is, boy am I blind).
That being said, thank you for this amazing tool.
