Hi,
I thought back in v4.1, if I selected a number of slaves or jobs, the monitor would display how many I had selected?!
It shows something like this: "Slaves (10 rendering, 5 idle, 5 offline, 5 disabled)…where’s the “X selected”?
This doesn’t seem to work any more in v5.2?

I believe that was taken out when 5.1 was released, because believe it or not, it would actually slow things down in the Monitor if there were a few 10’s of thousands of jobs being displayed. It was mainly due to the way selected items triggered events in .NET listview controls. When you do a multiselect, the event fires for each row selected, rather than a batch event that covered all selection changes. So the more items you selected, the longer it took to calculate the “X Selected” display. It just didn’t scale.
We will be taking another look at this for v6 to see if there is a way we can do this efficiently.

Interesting. My primary need is to know how many slaves I have selected. As the slave count would rarely change unlike job count, could it be safely re-introduced? I’m guessing slave count would rarely be in the 10’s of thousands even with multiple slaves on 1 physical machine?
If it does get reintroduced, it won’t happen until 6.0. Ideally, we would like all our lists to behave the same, but if it turns out to still be a performance hit for the jobs only, we will consider doing it for the slaves only.

Understood.
Thanks,
