Info

Note that on ECMWF machines, you need to load the 'dev' module of ecflow to get the 4.8.0 test version:

Code Block
languagebash
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 2017-12-05  (version 4.8.0)


DescriptionNotes
Notifications

New feature: A new option was added to control the notification popup dialogue (in Tools → Preferences → Notifications) as:

Switch to parent's virtual desktop from popup dialogue

Having this option enabled if we click on a node in the notification popup dialogue the window manager automatically switches to the virtual desktop where the main ecFlowUI window is located and moves the popup dialogue into this desktop. By default this option is disabled.

DescriptionNotes
Notifications

Improvement: Colours are available again to decorate the notification interface. The colour selected for a notification type (in Tools → Preferences → Notifications) is used in the following way:

  • the button in the notification statusbar is only coloured when there are notifications available in the given category
  • in the notification popup dialogue a coloured label shows the name of the given notification category above the list of tasks

For the "aborted" notifications by default the notification background and text colours are automatically taken from the settings of the aborted status itself. This can be overridden form Tools → Preferences → Notifications → Aborted via the "Use aborted status colour" option. When this option is unticked we can set our own custom colours for the "aborted" notifications.

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
