Hi,
I think by default, log reports are sorted and displayed by the most recent report date/time (whenever you first open a report window - pop out window, instead of it being a locked panel). Would be good if which column is used by default to sort the log reports was customisable. ie: I would like to set the default to be by ascending Task ID.
Also, I thought back in v5, the log reports use to display more columns such as image size, peak RAM usage, peak CPU, etc. Can these come back? (really good for cross-referencing the individual tasks for any issues)
We’re not quite sure how to properly handle this, as it’s a problem for any new panel that is opened. For example, if you close the Jobs panel and open a new one, it will have the default settings, not the settings from the previous Jobs panel.
One idea could be to cache the settings from a panel when the last panel of that type is closed. That would help in this case, but then there is the case where you open a panel where that panel type is already open. Maybe in that case, we look for an existing panel of the same type when a panel is opened and use its settings if it finds one. Then there is the last case where you open a panel where more than one of that panel type was already open, in which case do we just arbitrarily pick a panel and use its settings?
Ideally, we’d like to take a more general approach here and make it behave as people would expect it to, rather than expose specific settings for individual panel types to customize.
Image size was never stored, and ram/cpu info used to be stored only for error reports. Currently, this isn’t done in v6, but we could perhaps look at supporting this again if you think it would be useful.
Fair enough. I’ll let you boys have a think on that one! General approach that works for potentially future ‘panels’ not yet invented sounds like the best approach. If possible?
Yeah, I do think it would be of help to have some more columns in the log reports panel. Namely,
Okay, we’ll add this to the wishlist. I guess some things would depend on the type of report (ie: an error report wouldn’t have an image size), but I don’t think that’s an issue.
Do you think the submit machine is necessary though? Wouldn’t it be the same for every report?
