pending job frame range change -> tasks go queued

One of the artists had this issue today. He had a per-frame script dependency on the job, for which he changed the chunk size in the monitor. However, as soon as he did that, all the previously pending tasks went queued…

The job history did not contain any auto release after his frame range change (after the bold here), yet the tasks were all queued…:

Thanks for reporting this! The problem is that when the tasks are being recreated based on the job state, the new incomplete tasks are being set to queued because the job’s current state is queued. This will be fixed so that if the job has frame dependencies, the new incomplete tasks will be set to pending instead of queued.

This will be fixed in RC3.

Cheers,
Ryan
