I’m frequently moving slaves in and out of pools, adding new slaves, etc. On many of our machines, we have secondary slaves running that are meant to be in different pools than the primary slaves. Right now that is making me ctrl+click on every other slave in the list to select only the primary or the secondary slaves. This is starting to take a chunk out of the day when it comes to modifying pools/groups, or even things like submitting a Command Script job to Deadline and making a machine list.
I was hoping that it was possible to put the same filtering system on these features that exists on the “Slaves” panel or “Jobs” panel. That sort of power would really make the pool/group modifications much more powerful. For larger render farms I think this would help out a lot. That would allow me to filter out any slave that contains the word “secondary” or filter out any machines that have less than 32 gigs or anything like that. Right now I’m having to first filter the slaves list to the machines I want to modify, then visually check the filtered slaves list and compare that to the machines I have selected to modify a pool for. What do you think?
