Hi,
RPmanager will not remember the changes make under Network (Priority, comments, tiles etc.) unless I click on the Pass Name right after making the changes, Could this be part of your SMTD, or should I contact Grant at rpmanager?
I don’t recall this being a problem with deadline 5.x
Deadline Version: 6.0.0.51561
RPmanager Version: 5.143
Hi Jacob,
Thanks for the report!
It is always a good idea to inform both sides 
Grant has a much better understanding of what is going on inside of RPM, but I will take a look at the SMTD code to see if there is anything obvious we are missing…
That would be me.
Actually, it’s always been like that - mostly it doesn’t seem to matter, and once people know they can avoid the problem. Part of it is that to capture just what has changed I’d need an RPM call in each change handler on each control (and the idea has always been that RPM changes the UI code as little as possible so it shares as much as possible with the main deadline submit - thanks to bobo it’s the same code base now) , or do the capture-the-entire-thing, which I do when you change tab (ie on the change tab handler which I track myself anyway). It’s something I’ve meant to deal with for ages, as in years. I’ll have another look at it as I imagine that at the least I could add the capture-the-entire-thing at a few more points. What are you doing right after changing the settings that is demonstrating that it isn’t capturing?
cheers,
grant
if I change the priority and then click on the “renderer setup” tab, and the go back to “network” tab the priority is back to what it was before…
I was just about to make a new post about this but saw this thread so will add my 2 cents here as well.
We are also experiencing this issue (deadline 6.1, rpm 5.2). its pretty much not calling any save to the data changed unless we hit submit (selected or checked) havent tried changing passes tho to save the settings.
It can get into a bit of a vicious cycle aspecially as there are default ini settings, sticky ini settings and local sticky settings. you can end up in a loop of having bad settings that dont change (or get changed back while your jumping betweeen various tabs to get your settings right for submission, very painfull and especialy horrible if you miss restart renderer, or have your element passes being renamed. Would be aswesome if this could be fixed 
Another UI issue seems to be that the Render tab is very flaky. I can never get it to open the right tab layout without clicking it, click on a different tab then click on render tab again. One click seems to do nothing, always a 2 click process. Any ideas.
Cheers
Dave
This is fixed for the next RPManager release, which is likely a week or so away.
For the moment you’ll need to do something like change pass for settings to stick - in the new build you can change tab etc. and the data is stored (much nicer).
cheers,
grant
Ahh good to know that is fixed in a future build of RPM!
