Sometimes it doesn’t retain the last correct file path for the scene, output image etc…(after we close and reopen).
And we have one PC that doesn’t retain any settings.
Plus it would be good if it retain the last Job name.
I checked the submission script, and it looks like the settings are only committed when clicking on Submit or Close. They aren’t committed if you press the [X] button to close it. Does this sound like the behavior you’re seeing? If not, are you able to easily reproduce, or is it random? If it’s easy to reproduce, can you send us the steps?
On the PC that doesn’t save any settings, do you know if you’re pressing the [X] button to close? If you’re not, can you send us the log from the Monitor? We can take a look to see if there are any errors.
Thanks!

nop, we’re submitting the Job and it does not retain the settings.
I’ve attached the log files of the PC that does not retain any settings(PC04), and one of the PC that does not retain the frame list and frame per task(PC01).
I didn’t understand what you meant by sending the steps.
Plus what about retaining the Job name?
Deadline Monitor PC04 LOG.rar (1.89 KB)
Deadline Monitor PC01 LOG.rar (1.98 KB)
Thanks for the logs. There aren’t any errors in them, so we’ll have to dig a bit deeper.
On each of those machines (PC01 and PC04), can you go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Thinkbox\Deadline6\settings and check to see if there is a file called MayaSettings.ini? If there is, please send us it from each machine. This file holds the sticky settings, so we can check to see if they are being saved properly.
Generally, we don’t make the job name sticky, since that tends to change for every job for most users. However, it’s easy enough for you to modify the script to make it sticky. Just add “NameBox” to the list that defines the sticky settings. The line starts like this:
settings = ("DepartmentBox","CategoryBox","PoolBox"...You can change this in \your\repository\scripts\Submission\MayaSubmission.py.
Cheers,

Ok, I’ve attached The MayaSettings.ini
MayaSettings(PC04).ini (359 Bytes)
MayaSettings(PC01).ini (648 Bytes)
Thanks! I opened the PC04 file, and omst most of the settings are empty. That would imply that some settings aren’t being saved to it in the first place.
I had made a mistake before when I said the settings were saved when either Submit or Close is pressed. It turns out they’re only saved when Close is pressed. So if you hit Submit, then [X], the settings won’t be saved. Is this perhaps what’s happening on PC04?
It worked, it retained the settings.
Thx.
