Currently there is no double-click behavior for jobs or slaves. I could see this being useful, but understand people would have differing opinions of what the behavior should do (Does a slave double click bring up its properties or open up Job Reports?). Has this been discussed and could there be a way in the future to customize the double click behavior through user preferences?
There actually hasn’t been any discussion on what to use double-click for now that it’s vacant (it used to refresh the selected job in Deadline 5).
Double-click is also not used for the slave list either. It used to remote into the machine, but since remote access has been moved to right-click scripts, there is now an opening here as well.
We still plan on supporting the double-click functionality to view output for tasks.
All that being said, we like the idea of allowing you to customize your double click actions. Maybe we could allow you to choose something from the job’s right-click menu, including scripts?
That would be ideal.
