Idea: option to create only instances specified in config, ignoring designspace instances

Opened this issue · 2 comments

As the title says, I'd like to have a mechanism to build static instances, but only those specified in my config.yaml, not the ones in the designspace source I'm using. Currently, both are always built AFAICT

I wouldn't mind either a commandline flag or a config file option

Would such a thing be doable, or is this too niche to be considered?

Do I understand it correctly that it is currently not possible using the config yaml to build e.g. Regular instance only?

That's my understanding, yes. You can't request just some of your config-defined outputs for a particular build. That's mostly orthogonal to this issue though
