Annoying behaviour during marking failed tasks

Deadline
1

Hi,

I’m having hard time marking tasks, when a couple of tasks are in error. I try to mark them as failed or completed, to block the slaves to continue over and over again on the bad tasks, and I usually get the message dialog “cannot complete, because task has recently changed states” or similar. That is true (starting up–> rendering–>failed states changing quickly), but can’t I just mark them anyway? (I have to be lighting fast clicking on the OK button) Really annoying. Or is there a way I’m not aware of?

Thanks,
Gabor

Hi Gabor,

I agree that this is annoying, and Deadline should just handle the problem automatically rather than telling you that “it’s confused”. I’ve logged this as a bug, and we’ll try to target it for the next Deadline release.
