customize batch naming?

Deadline

When submitting a max render with a preview of x frames there’s a batch created.
Is there any way to change the formatting of this batch name and it’s generated jobs?
I’d like to rename the [PREVIEW FRAMES] to something more subtle and perhaps make it a prefix instead of suffix.

is that possible without breaking everything?

Right now the string used for the preview name is not exposed, but it would be rather easy to expose in the future.

For now, you could just

  • Navigate to the Repository
  • Go into the \submission\3dsmax\Main\ folder
  • Open the file SubmitMaxToDeadline_Function.ms
  • Locate the following section:
								theSpecialLabel = case frameMode of
								(
									#both: ""
									#nth: " [PREVIEW FRAMES]" 
									#rest: " [REST OF FRAMES]" 	
								)

You can edit these strings as you need, and save the file. Restart SMTD in 3ds Max and try submitting again…
