In the days of dual and even triple displays it might be nice to have all your submission options in one window - not in tabs. I think i recal something like taht was possible with SMTD once.
Is this possible?
Would be nice to have it as a choice - probably in submission scripts for various software packages.
I agree that having a wider window would be nice to have quick access to things. The only worry I have is that new users might find that a bit too much information all at once (I’m still overwhelmed by the SMTD ). The other problem is time… We need to make decisions on where we spend it.
If you like, I can probably lend a hand if you want to try and tackle it yourself. I believe you could just change the container type for those tabs. If you’re keen to try it out I can do a little research for you.
I understand the time perspective and i’m very much up for giving it a go on my own
Can you give me a couple of hints on which file i should backup and start altering and which parameters i should start looking at?
Modo’s a bit special. Because we can’t bootstrap the submitter from the Repository, the UI and all are in the client installation folder, and that is copied locally to workstations.
Looking at those files, the one you want is “LoadDeadlineModoUI.py” and “index.CFG”, and it’s going to be more of a challenge than I’d expected. It looks like adding the UI elements is using some proprietary Modo scripting language.
Take a look, I may need to have someone teach me how that works.
