Updates for version 4.10.0

Info

Note that on ECMWF machines, you need to load the 'dev' module of ecflow to get the 4.10.0 test version:

Code Block

language	bash

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 2018-07-10

Area	Description	Notes
Server load	Experimental feature: a new info panel tab called Server Load was added to display various diagnostics about the given server.
Table view	New feature: When a new table view is added the Table Filter dialogue automatically appears so that the table filter could be defined before the actual table data is loaded. This can result in much faster initial loading of the table view. This feature can be turned on/off in Tools → Preferences → Appearance → Table view using option: Popup filter dialogue when new table view is added. By default this option is on.
Table view	Improvement: The first column in the table view (node path) is sorted by the node index in the given tree instead of the path string itself. This significantly speeds up the table view.
Panels	Improvement: The Suites, Zombies, Server Settings and Server Load info panels, which belong to a given server, are now always visible whichever child node of the given server is selected. Previously these tabs were only visible when a sever node was selected.
Commands	Improvement: when a command sent a given server fails the server state is automatically refreshed
Node log	Improvement: added horizontal scroll bar to node log panel
Suite filter	Fix: fixed issue when suites not filtered by the suite filter appeared in the tree view
Tree view	Fix: fixed issue when nodes were not always selected in the standard tree view with left click

Info

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

Code Block

language	bash

module swap ecflow/new
ecflow_ui

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

	Description	Notes
Output log	New 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 Modified Example output with an HTML table
Server sync	Improvement: 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 sync	Improvement: 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 filter	Improvement: ecFlowUI now saves its suite filter settings as soon as they are changed (previously they were only saved on closedown)
Tree view	Improvement: when an alias is removed, the selection no longer jumps to the top node
Tree view	Fix: fixed issue where a time icon could be shown on nodes that did not have time attributes
Main UI	Fix: fixed issue where the user interface could hang when trying to write its settings to an erroneously locked settings file
