some DL Monitor wishes

Deadline
1

Hi,

here’s some little wishes

  • An additional column for “estimated time remaining” (ETR) in the jobs view, so you can sort by that
  • In the tasks view, when tasks are marked “completed” by hand, the RenderTime is set to 00h 00m 00s. So the ETR (upper right corner of the tasks view) calculation should omit those tasks.
  • Both the ETR and the AutoTaskTimeout should take the frame count per task into account. Currently, when you have a job, say with the option “render first and last frame first” and subsequentially 10 frames per task, the ETR and auto task timout seems to be wrong.
  • Reverse task order, so you can render from last to first frame with the fusion plugin. (Could I modify the submission script to give deadline the right JobInfoFile line for that?)

cheers
Marcus

Hi Marcus,

I’ve logged these as feature requests.

Note: to render the frames in reverse order, just specify, for example, 100-1 as the frame range instead of 1-100.

Cheers,
