    blenderq --blend /path/to/file1.blend /path/to/file2.blend love this option

    normaly I just use blender -b path/file1 -a && blender -b path/file2 -a

    thank you for making this I did not read your code and I'm curious about where did you get (or calculate) the progress value, thank you for making this

    I don't manage any Blender renders, so this isn't for me, but if you want to use Python for the TUI part as well you can use Textual [0].

    A lot of the Textual based programs[1] can be run without having to install them with uvx, i.e.:

      uvx --python 3.12 textual-demo
  uvx usolitaire
