Hi,
I'd like to configure Qube! so that each job's default frame timeout is set to 30 min. I can't seem to remember where/how to configure the default job submission settings.
Thanks,
Michael

You set the Frame Timeout in the submission UI under the 'Qube Advanced Job Control' section. The value is set in seconds so '1800' will give you a 30 minutes timeout. Click "Set Defaults" in the lower-left corner, click "Cancel" to close the submission UI, then QubeGUI->File->Save Preferences.
For details and screenshot see:

Hi Darrin,
Thanks for your quick response. Is there a way that I can set the frame timeout parameter for all the clients on my network? We are a school and have 100+ client machines. When a student submits a job from any of our client machines, I'd like for the frame timeout field to automatically be set to 1800.
Thanks,
Michael

An administrator can set up preferences and defaults to be used by the entire school / studio.
To save off an external Preferences file based on the current preferences of the QubeGUI, select "File->Save External Preference File

Hi Darrin,
Thanks for the info. After I save the external preferences file, what's the best way to roll that external preferences file out to all of our client machines?
Thanks,
Michael

A handy way to get all your users to reference a shared GUI prefs file is with an environment variable:
QUBEGUI_DEFAULTPREFS=file location
you can use another variable to point to the "studio overrides", which are settings which trump any user's preferences:
QUBEGUI_STUDIOPREFS=file location
Please refer to our on-line docs for a more complete explanation:

I'm trying to configure an environment variable for the "studio overrides" on Mac OS 10.7.5, but so far it doesn't seem to be working. Here's what I've done so far:
I've created a file called launchd.conf and placed it in /etc/
launchd.conf only contains one line:
QUBEGUI_STUDIOPREFS=/qube_prefs/qube_guiDefaults.conf
***
I've attached the qube_guiDefaults.conf to this post. This is the first time I've tried creating an environment variable in Mac OS X, so please let me know if there's a better way.
Thanks,
Michael

in launchd.conf, you have to set env variable the csh way, so:
setenv QUBEGUI_STUDIOPREFS /qube_prefs/qube_guiDefaults.conf
(note there is no '=' sign)
