SMTD: "Tile Rendering" - "Total Number of Jobs"

Hi,
We have found that the naming convention is a little confusing in SMTD in the Tiles Tab.
At the bottom of the Tiles tab there is:

“Total Number of Jobs:”…we were thinking it should say “Total Number of Tiles:”

Also, please could this value displayed take into account the number of tiles chosen when it is a “custom tile job”, so a user can get a clear indication of the total number of ACTUAL tiles that will be submitted in a job.

Thanks,
Mike

I see your point, although the use of “Jobs” was dictated by the fact that the group where the text appeared was meant to control the limits of jobs.
I have changed the like to “Total Number Of Tiles” and also modified the existing line to take into account the “Re-Render User-Defined Tiles” option.

And while at it, I finally made the User-Defined Tiles dialog resizable :slight_smile:
The size is a SMTDSettings property now and can be sticky or globally defined as any other property.
It will also default to a much larger initial size (640x480).

I have some other things planned there, but will see how fast I can get them in…

Cool. Thanks Bobo. I like the idea of “other things planned as well”… :slight_smile:

I sent you some files via osticket to take a look. The “other things” are in the shape of two buttons to Add and Remove tiles based on selected scene objects.
I have not started the region rendering changes yet, but this code will be useful there too… :wink:
