Maxwell: default settings

Hi,
ist it possible to somehow store default settings for Maxwell jobs? We probably use the same settings 80% - 90% of the time so a preset would speed things up and reduce user errors.

It would also be great if the “Job Name” could default to something useful like the filename. Same for the “Output MXI File”.
A system with placeholder variables would probably be best to be able to adjust to different situations.
Something like:
Job Name:
Output MXI File: /.mxi

Cheers, Florian

Hello Florian,

Unfortunately I don’t think there is any way to force a set of defaults, though you can use an OnJobSubmit script, similar to the one at github.com/ThinkboxSoftware/Dea … PoolChoice, to force the settings to be changed after submission.

Hello Florian,

I wanted to give you an update to let you know that I have put this in to the devs to hopefully get this feature added in.

That sounds great! Thanks.

You can make some changes and keep those as defaults. I find that my last job is sometimes populating the submit job dialogue when it’s reopened, sometimes it’s an older job.

You can find several stored defaults stored in this file:- \Deadline7_Repository\scripts\Submission\MaxwellSubmission.py However, I suggest making a BU of this before making changes.

Also you can find the usual submit dialogue settings stored here:-

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Thinkbox\Deadline7\settings\MaxwellSettings.ini

This one stores previous entries and you can change this to suit your usual defaults.

Tim.

Nice. I will check it out. Thanks.
