Deprecated Deadline 6 Beta Discussion
#1
  1. When I click on the attached job below (TileAssembler) in job list view, I get this in console:

  1. “View Farm Reports” > generate a report. Top-right, I can click the panel to detach it from the main Farm reports panel, but can’t get it back in again, as the farm reports panel is modal! Don’t see the point in being able to rip the tabs out, when you can click along the different tabs in the panel anyway?

  2. “Farm Status Reports” - “export data” button is broken for all reports. It defaults to (.tsv). I think (.csv) is the more popular choice? Also, it’s not working at the moment, but was wondering if it exports anything if nothing is selected? ie: by default, it should export all cells in the report unless a selection is made? Exporting directly to Excel would eliminate a step as well? Add this as a supported file extension? I’m also unable to RC any of the images and save them off. Think this was possible in v5.x? EDIT: just saw this in console. Hoorah for console again! :slight_smile:

NODE VIEW feedback:
4. Job Node view - it would be nice if each job stored it’s X,Y position in the node view, so the subsequent time I visit the node view for that job, all the dependencies are still arranged as I left it.

  1. If I don’t have a job selected and RC, shouldn’t the “Job Controls” be greyed out, just like the “Save View” is greyed out as it’s not applicable at this time?

  2. If I have “Job Dependency View” floating as a panel on my machine, then right-click, but move the mouse off the RC menu, still leaving it visible, I can then click the “Job Dependency View” panel and start moving it about. Looks freaky! Can we refresh the RC sub-menu and make it disappear, just like it would if you clicked off it?

  3. It takes too long for the input or output socket to turn WHITE, which I realised needs to happen before I can click it and start to drag a connecting line from it. Can it be faster?

  4. Should the vertical text alignment of the node title be centralised with the new icon? At the moment it’s top justified.

Cheers,
Mike

Hey Mike,

  1. Apparently I forgot to take into account deleted jobs for the new Icons code, this will be taken care of for beta 12
  2. I don’t see this happening any time soon, it will require a lot to add. For example the monitor does not even record which node is selected at start up.
  3. I will take a look at this I agree it is a little weird currently.
  4. Um I am not sure, for this It doesn’t look like I can reproduce it.
  5. For this as soon as it starts to change you should be able to click it (signifies that you hovered over it), but yeah I can speed it up easily enough
  6. Yeah, this should be in for beta 12.

#3

Thanks Grant.
6. OK, not to worry. It’s pretty obscure!
7. Yeah, super fast, please! It would be nice if it was close to instant?

Thanks,
Mike

#4

Hey mike,
So 5 is now done as well,
For 7, we are not sure how fast we want it, we would like it to be smooth, and since it doesn’t affect the ability to use use the sockets we are not sure how fast we want it, since it should be taking 1/4 of a second to change currently.

Grant

#5

It felt like it needed to be speeded up by a factor x2…maybe even more

#6

Re: 2 – I added the pop-out button since I figured people might want to compare the same report for different time frames, and I’d want to do that side-by-side instead of switching back and forth between tabs. I didn’t think it was super necessary to be able to re-dock the reports since their lifespan as a window probably isn’t very long, but I can add a button to do that pretty easily.

Re: 3 – Looks like I broke the CSV/TSV exporting when I moved the button around. oops. >_<

I’ll get on fixing that. Currently it always exports everything, I don’t know how often you’d want to export a subset of the data. I don’t know how much work would be involved in exporting directly to an excel format – importing TSV/CSV into excel is pretty easy, so we never really looked into it. Maybe I’ll check it out if I ever have some downtime between stuff.

As for RCing on the graphs, I just forgot that was even a thing – I’ll add that in to match all the other graphs.

#7

Cheers Jon. Sounds good.
Maybe, the ability to mass export out all the images in one go via an “export” button would be good as well, ie: add “.jpg", ".png”, “*.tga” options?
