What’s New In Deadline 6.2.0.18 (Beta 4)

This release fixes a few bugs and adds a few minor features.

General Improvements

  • The OnJobSubmitted event is now handled BEFORE marking the job as submitted. This means the OnJobSubmitted event can change job properties during submission without the slaves picking up the job before those changes are saved.
  • Updated some Monitor scripts to use new ScriptDialog utility functions.
  • Fixed some indentation errors in a handful of the Monitor submission scripts.

Installer Improvements

  • The browse button for the Repository install path in the Repository installer is now visible on OSX again.

Monitor Improvements

  • Fixed Monitor to correctly pull plugin .options file from custom plugin folder if specified in the job properties.
  • Fixed a “jobDependencyDetails” error when opening the Job Dependency View panel.
  • Fixed a “Pixmap is a null pixmap” error when switching jobs while the Job Dependency View panel is open.

Pulse Improvements

  • Added better logging for the web service.
  • In Power Management, the Idle Shutdown and Machine Restart features now ignore disabled slaves.
  • The housecleaning and pending job scan messages no longer get printed out when Pulse is shutting down (the scans themselves didn’t happen, but these messages were still printed out and were misleading).

Scripting Improvements

  • Updated API docs for functions that display a file chooser dialog. They now show an example of the file filter syntax.
  • Fixed some issues in the ScriptUIExample script.
  • The standalone Python API no longer strips spaces from the job and plugin info files when submitting jobs.
  • Added CopyToClipboard() function to DeadlineScriptDialog class that can be used to copy text to the clipboard.
  • Added CreateColorObject() function to DeadlineScriptDialog class that can be used to create a color object, which can then be passed as the value to the ColorBox control.

3ds Max Improvements

  • Softened the 3dsmaxcmd.exe sanity check prior to rendering, since it was resulting in false positives for non-English versions of 3ds Max.
  • When running the 3dsmaxcmd.exe sanity check, the 3dsmaxcmd.exe exit code is now printed out.
  • Fixed a region rendering issue with render elements.

DJV Improvements

  • Increased widths of some labels in the submitter so that they aren’t cut off on OSX.
  • Fixed a bug in the Save/Load Settings options.

Draft Improvements

  • Fixed Draft plugin to properly print out stdout of its post-render script when uploading to Shotgun.
  • Fixed Draft plugin to properly pass on Python path value to Draft subprocess.
  • Fixed a typo in the event plugin.

Maya Improvements

  • Fixed an issue in the integrated submitter that could prevent a scene from being submitted if it had cameras with duplicate camera shape names.
  • The integrated submitter no longer tries to access the Maya UI when running in batch mode. This cleans up a warning message during rendering.

Shotgun Improvements

  • Updated Shotgun API to v3.0.15.
