Installation date 2017-05-05 (version 4.6.0)
| Area | Description | Notes | |||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tree view | New feature: a new tree view layout called 'Compact' is now available. This 'Compact' layout works exactly in the same way as the tree view in ecflowview and saves some vertical space. To switch between the original layout, now called 'Standard' layout, and the new one use Edit → Preferences → Appearance → Tree view → Tree layout style. |
| |||||||||||||||
| Panels | New feature: to help with smaller displays, a new button was added to the panel headers (tree view, table view and info panel) to maximise the panel area. When this button is pressed the panel occupies all the available space in the given tab and the other panels become hidden. At the same time a warning message appears in the header saying "Panel maximised". By pressing the button again the original panel layout in the tab is restored. |
| |||||||||||||||
| Breadcrumbs | New feature: the breadcrumbs are now located in the panel header, saving some vertical space (previously they had their own area just below the panel header). When "Breadcrumbs" is on (toggle via the cogwheel icon) the breadcrumbs are visible in the header, otherwise the node path is simply shown as text. |
 | |||||||||||||||
| Why panel | New feature: the top-down Why (through the children) is now displayed in the Why info panel alongside with the bottom-up Why (through the parents). As an additional improvement the node statuses are now colour-coded and the parts of the expression which are false are highlighted (with a darker background). Also, the attribute notation became clearer and both the nodes and attributes are now hyper-linked. |
| |||||||||||||||
| Limits | New feature: the limit editor now shows the list of nodes consuming the given limit. With the provided buttons the selected node paths can be removed ('Remove' button) or the whole list can be cleared ('Reset' button). |
| |||||||||||||||
| Limits | New feature: it is now possible to choose between circular and rectangular limit shapes (see Edit → Preferences → Appearance → Attributes → Limit shape). The default limit shape is "circle". The rectangular shape allows for a more compact view. |
| |||||||||||||||
| Triggers | New feature: the colours used for trigger and complete rendering can now be controlled from Edit → Preferences → Appearance → Attributes. |
| |||||||||||||||
| Info panel | New feature: the 'Info', 'Manual', 'Script' and 'Job' Info panels can now be manually refreshed with the provided button |
| |||||||||||||||
| Info panel | New feature: the "detached" state in the popup (i.e. dialogue) info panel is now represented with a separate "chain" button just like in the docked info panel. As a further improvement the "detached" option is saved for the popup info panel. |
| |||||||||||||||
| Info Panel | New feature: flags of the selected node are now displayed in the 'Info' info panel |
| |||||||||||||||
| Tree view | New feature: the last selected node per tree view is saved on exit and restored on startup | ||||||||||||||||
| Icons | Change: some of the node icons were improved, the changes are summarised below:
| ||||||||||||||||
| Table view | Change: when a selection is broadcast to the table view (e.g. from a tree view, search result view etc) it will only be visible there if it matches the filter set on the table view. The previous behaviour was that the broadcast selection was always shown in the table view even if it did not match the filter. | ||||||||||||||||
| Output log | Change: line numbers are no longer shown in the output log ('Output' panel) to save space. Line numbers are still shown for the Script and Job. | ||||||||||||||||
| Repeats | Improvement: in the repeat editor the current value for date repeats can be selected from the list at the bottom of the editor | ||||||||||||||||
| Command | Improvement: when a command sent to the server fails, a dialogue pops up showing the error message | ||||||||||||||||
| Context menu | Improvement: the 'Cancel' command was renamed 'Remove' and was made available for suites, tasks and families | ||||||||||||||||
| Context menu | Improvement: the context menu now better handles the situation where multiple nodes and attributes are selected | ||||||||||||||||
| Limits | Fix: fixed issue when the limit text was incorrectly turned red when the limit reached, but did not exceed, its maximum | ||||||||||||||||
| Limits | Fix: fixed issue when the limit maximum could not be set to zero | ||||||||||||||||
| Context menu | Fix: fixed issue when stray context menu appeared in panel headers | ||||||||||||||||
| Update | Fix: fixed issue when setting the server update frequency did not always make effect immediately | ||||||||||||||||
| Server list file | Fix: fixed issue when a malformed server list file caused a crash | ||||||||||||||||
| Zombies | Fix: fixed issue when commands did not work for multiple zombie selection in the Zombies info panel | ||||||||||||||||
| Variables | Fix: fixed issue when deleting a variable caused a crash | ||||||||||||||||
| Stability | Fix: fixed additional crashes |

| Area | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Trigger view | New feature: a new tab called "Triggers" was added to the Info panel. It displays a list-based trigger dependency view. |
|
| Triggers | New 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. | |
| Migrate/restore | New 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 panel | New 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 panel | New feature: If an "aborted reason" is available for a node its full text is displayed in the "Info" tab in the info panel. |
|
| Limits | Improvement: 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 view | Improvement: 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 search | New feature: a "Clear options" button was added to the Node search dialogue to clear the query options set for the nodes and attributes. |
|
| Icons | Improvement: the icon pixmaps are now displayed in the Show icon menu (in the header of tree view panel). |
|
| Configuration | Fix: fixed issue when window geometry and layout was incorrectly saved |
