Info

Note that on ECMWF machines, you need to load the 'dev' module of ecflow to get the 4.9.0 test version:

Code Block
languagebash
module swap ecflow/dev
ecflow_ui

This command should only be for testing the new user interface and not for running a server!

Installation date 2018-04-??  (version 4.9.0)


DescriptionNotes
Output logNew feature: if an output file has the extension ".html" it will be rendered as HTML. Note that only static HTML is supported, not JavaScript.

Image Added

Example output with an HTML table

Server syncImprovement: to further reduce polling commands sent to busy servers, the default behaviour of ecFlowUI is now to increase the sync drift interval at 1.4 times its previous value after each sync. This behaviour is configurable, both globally and per-server from the Server Settings dialogue.
Server syncImprovement: ecFlowUI now drops all its handles with a server when it resets its communication with that server, thus avoiding the accumulation of client handles on the server
Suite filterImprovement: ecFlowUI now saves its suite filter settings as soon as they are changed (previously they were only saved on closedown)
Tree viewImprovement: when an alias is removed, the selection no longer jumps to the top node
Tree viewFix: fixed issue where a time icon could be shown on nodes that did not have time attributes
Main UIFix: fixed issue where the user interface could hang when trying to write its settings to an erroneously locked settings file

DescriptionNotes
Log output

New feature: a text filter interface was added to the Output panel. It can be controlled via these buttons:

The first button makes the text filter bar visible, while the second one shows the context menu of the text filter. The text filter is defined by a regular expression and runs the UNIX grep command to perform the actual filtering of the output file. It can be used in two modes:

  • match: in this mode only the lines matching the regular expression are shown
  • no match: in this mode only the lines not matching the regular expression are shown

To run the filter type in the regular expression into the text line editor and press enter. When there are marching lines in the output the regular expression editor and the filter icon turn green

 

otherwise they turn red.

To clear the filter just clear the regular expression editor or choose the Clear filter action from the context menu.

The filter remains active when switching between output files and selecting new nodes. It also remains active when the text filter bar is closed. In this case its colour and tooltip tells us about the current filter being applied.

The actual filter can be saved and then loaded using the filter context menu. To manage the saved filters start up the Text Filter Manager dialogue from the context menu.

Tree view

Fix: fixed issue when having two tree views in a tab caused a crash on startup
