 Trigger view

New feature: a new tab called "Triggers" was added to the Info panel. It displays a list-based trigger dependency  view.

See Viewing dependencies


TriggersNew feature: triggers can now be edited by either double-click on them or selecting "Edit ..." from their context menu.

Server List

New feature: ecFlowUI now updates its local server list with the centrally maintained system server list on every startup.

See Server management

 
Migrate/restoreNew feature: The Migrate and Restore commands are now available for suites and families from the Special context menu. Besides, a new icon representing the "Migrated" flag was added to the tree and table views. This is ON by default. This can be set from the Icons menu from the header of the tree view panel. Please note that this feature will only work with servers running ecFlow version 4.4 or above.

Why panelNew feature: Node paths appearing in the Why panel are now hyperlinked. Clicking a hyperlink results in broadcasting the selection to the other views (tree/table).

Info panelNew feature: If an "aborted reason" is available for a node its full text is displayed in the "Info" tab in the info panel.

LimitsImprovement: if a limit exceeds its maximum value the values beyond the maximum are rendered with a different colour (blue by default). This colour can be customised in  Preferences → Appearance →  Attributes → Limit exceed colour. As a warning, when the value exceeds the maximum the numbers for the limit value and maximum value are rendered in red.

Table viewImprovement: the table view now remembers the width and the visibility of the table columns. 
Table view
Fix: fixed issue when the node status was always rendered with gradient shading in the table view. It now respects the setting in Preferences → Appearance →  Status → Status rendering option. 
Node searchNew feature: a "Clear options" button was added to the Node search dialogue to clear the query options set for the nodes and attributes.

 

IconsImprovement: the icon pixmaps are now displayed in the Show icon menu (in the header of tree view panel).

ConfigurationFix: fixed issue when window geometry and layout was incorrectly saved

AreaDescriptionNotes
ecFlowUIImprovement: the way in which node selections are propagated between different panels has been clarified. Now, there is a 'link' icon at the top-right of every panel. When this is solid, it means that this panel will respond to node selections in the other panels. For example, if an Info Panel is linked, selecting a node in any Tree View or Table View in that tab will cause the contents of the Info Panel to be updated for that node. If it is 'unlinked', then its contents will not change when nodes are clicked in different panels. This latter state is what used to be called 'detached'.

Tree viewImprovement: the status filter has been redesigned to avoid confusion. A status' visibility is always clearly shown in the filter (highlighted with shading), with "Show all" and "Hide all" buttons
Info panelImprovement: it is now possible to view the output for queued and submitted jobs, but with a message to warn that they may not be current 
Suite filterImprovement: the suites in the suite filter are now listed alphabetically 
Suite filterImprovement: ecFlowUI now allows an empty suite filter 
Info panelImprovement: if it is not possible to retrieve a directory listing for the job output files, a warning message is displayed with the reason why 
Custom commands

Fix: fixed crash when a custom command required further input from the user; a pop-up message will now appear

 
Table viewFix: fixed issue in the Table View where navigating the nodes with the keyboard did not update the node displayed in the Info Panel 
Info panelFix: fixed an inefficiency in retrieving the job output files and scripts when the log server does not return anything

AreaDescriptionNotesNew version

Note that this release is now a developmental version of 4.3.0, and therefore you will need to reload the module to get it:

Code Block
languagebash
module swap ecflow/dev
ecflow_ui
Attribute search

New feature: the search dialogue was extended and is now also capable of finding attributes.

See Searching for nodes.

Tabs

Improvement: the title of the tabs in the main interface is now automatically adjusted to the available space. When a lot of tabs are open it makes the navigation easier. The way the tab title is drawn has also been changed and the close button was removed from the current tab. To close a tab right-click on a tab and select "Close tab" from the menu. 

Tabs

New feature: to improve the tab navigation a new button () was added to the right edge of the main tab bar. By pressing it the list of the open tabs appears in a drop down menu with the current tab being highlighted in bold.

IconsNew feature: a new icon representing the "Killed" flag was added to the tree and table views.  This is OFF by default. This can be set from the Icons menu from the header of the tree view panel.
          
Tree viewFix: fixed issue where the tree was not expanded on node lookup 
Tree viewFix: fixed issue where the default node status was incorrectly displayed in the node tooltip 

Breadcrumbs

Fix: fixed issue where the server status was not updated in the breadcrumbs 
Output panelImprovement: the column-width of the list of available output files are automatically adjusted to their contents when the output panel is first loaded.
