Info

Note that on ECMWF machines, you need to load the 'dev' module of ecflow to get the 4.7.0 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 2017-10-09 (version 4.7.0)

Area	Description
Context Menu	Improvement: added configuration options to disable certain confirmation dialogues

Installation date 2017-09-11 (version 4.7.0)

Area	Description
Tree view	New feature: the expand all children action in the tree view now defines a state rather than a one-off action. When new children appear for the given node they always get expanded automatically. This state is cleared when the collapse all children action is run on the node.
Tree view	New feature: variables can now be edited directly in the tree view
Tree view	New feature: the middle mouse button in the 'Compact' tree layout only expands the tree and does not cause the node to be selected
Custom commands	Improvement: when a command sent through the Custom Command Editor returns a message, the message is shown in a popup dialogue
Info Panel	Improvement: the contents of the variables panel are now sorted in ascending order by default
Menus	Improvement: the Views menu has been renamed to Panels
Startup	Fix: fixed issue when the minimised state of the windows was stored between sessions resulting in windows kept hidden on startup
Variables	Fix: fixed issue where a crash happened during the editing of variables
Repeats	Fix: fixed issue where the repeat editor could not show values larger than 99
Output	Fix: fixed issue where custom output files ending with ".0" were not shown in the Output panel

...

Area	Description	Notes
Info panel	New feature: all attributes of the selected node are now displayed in the 'Info' info panel
Startup	Improvement: when the server list file is ill-formatted a dialogue pops up with the list of errors on startup. When closing this dialogue ecFlowUI exits and users are asked to resolve the problems in the server list file manually then start ecFlowUI again.
Startup	Fix: fixed issue where a crash happened during startup on ecgate
Tree view	Fix: fixed issue where a crash happened when clicking on a server in the tree view
Tree view	Fix: fixed issue where multiline labels overlapped other attributes in tree view

...

Area	Description	Issue
Nodes	Improvement: tree and table views will now always show the selected node, even if it does not match the filtering criteria. For example, if a tree view has a status filter which does not display completed nodes, and the user clicks on a completed node from a search result or a notification, then it will appear in any tree or table view that is in the linked state.	ECFLOW-813
Tree view	Improvement: when the result of a search is an attribute and it is clicked on, it becomes selected in any linked tree views	ECFLOW-839
Variables panel	Improvement: the variables panel now has a horizontal scrollbar, allowing the easy viewing of long variables	ECFLOW-830
Shutdown	Fix: fixed occasional crash on shutdown	ECFLOW-832
