Submit multiple jobs at once?

Deadline
1

Hey guys, we used to be able to submit (sort of) multiple jobs at once in DL5, this seems to have been removed from the submission panels in DL6? Also, is it feasible to request for the implementation of drag and dropping files to create job submissions?

Say, we now are baking out a huge amount of game assets via Vray .vrscenes, but submitting each one by hand almost becomes a full time day job for one person.
Now i know i could use the API/SDK to submit a job after each vrscene is created, but it would be handy to at least be able to submit multiple files at once without the need to script around it.

cheers,
Sven

Hi Sven,
Is it a particular plugin type submission script menu you are referring to or ALL submission script menus?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

just testing, but it seems to be missing from the Vray submission panel, Maya submission does seem to allow for multiple jobs at once.

Now i’m starting to wonder if DL5 did multiple Vray job submission in the first place.

Hi Sven,

I just checked the v5 script, and I can confirm that it didn’t support submitting multiple jobs at once. From doing an initial pass of the script, we could probably support this, so I’ll add it to the wish list.

Cheers,
