Is there a way to prevent the job list from sorting everytime I modify properties on a job?
Is there a way to automatically scan for missing output upon job completion?
Thanks,

Hi Eric,
(1) This problem appears to have been resolved in our current working
version here (I was able to reproduce it in 1.2.15710, but not in our
current version). So the fix will be included in the next release.
(2) This is not possible at the moment. What we could do is perform the
scan and notify the user in the job completion email if there is any
output missing. It might not be ideal to requeue tasks automatically if
output appears to be missing, because jobs that continue to produce bad
/ no results, but still report success for whatever reason, will
continue to be requeued until someone suspends the job.
Kind regards,

The approach we’ve taken for renderers that occasionally report success without producing output, is to scan for output after a task has rendered. This fails the task as early as it can be checked, and then there’s a chance it will work on a different machine without any manual intervention required.
