Description

Notes

Startup

New feature: the ecflow_ui command now allows to use the -cmd option to specify a command that the executable (ecflow_ui.x) should be started through. E.g.

Code Block
ecflow_ui -cmd proxychains4

will invoke the executable as

Code Block
proxychains4 ecflow_ui.x

Search dialogue

New feature: The internal widget type of the Search dialogue was changed (technically it was converted from a QDialog to a QMainWindow) so that users can minimise/maximise it. This conversion causes a change in behaviour:

when the parent ecFlowUI window is minimised/maximized the Search dialogue does not follow it (since it is now not a QDialog any more)
pressing enter still invokes the search but the search button is not highlighted any longer (this is only available in a QDialog)

Trigger graph

New feature: double-click on a node in the trigger graph looks up the node in the tree view

Node Context Menu

New feature: the Clear threshold flag action was added to the node context menu. Can be accessed on tasks as:

Special -> Clear threshold flag

Node Context Menu

New feature: the Clear restored flag action was added to the node context menu. Can be accessed on restored nodes as:

Special -> Clear restored flag

Search dialogue

New feature: the archived, restored, no_script and threshold (=slow job creation) flags were added to the flags option the Search dialogue.

Session manager

New feature: the list shown in the session manager is now sortable

Shell command history

Fix: fixed an issue when the shell command history popped up even when it was disabled in the Preferences
