that frames are to be rendered in.
@FEATURE: Add Search history dropdown
@FEATURE: Add popup menu for output image thumbnails.
@FEATURE: Admin->Install License now is a cut&paste into a dialog box,
not a file-browser dialog
@FEATURE: Adding "label" within job "pgrp" for upstream/downstream dependency
checking within the "dependency" job field.
@FEATURE: Adding per-frame dependency scanning. View overall job dependencies
(per-frame and per-job in the dependency graph).
@FEATURE: JobList: Adding a detailed status to give the summary of the status
for the tasks and subjobs. Columns for each task state added and a
"statusDetailed" colum to give a abbreviated list of the existing
task states.
@FEATURE: Added task status details to metajobs like done with JobList. Sorting states for continuity.
@FEATURE: Exposing MetaJob columns to qbPrefs and the Prefs Dialog. One can
specify and arrange columns here like with the JobList.
@FEATURE: Exposing Agenda/Frames and Subjob Processes columns to be settable
in the Prefs Dialog.
@FEATURE: If a job does not have any frames associated with it, then have
"% Done" return the % of subjob processes that are complete.
@FEATURE: Retrieve Job Details for all running jobs when "all job" request is
given to reload/refresh. This will populate the Avg and ETA fields

Subjob Process Panel.
@FEATURE: Adding Job Processes Running Panel to the QubeGUI.
Has right-click popup menu.
@FEATURE: Shotgun enhancements:
* pass shotgun info from parent job to generateMovie job, populate
shotgun field in genMovieJob
* add 'Submit All' to shotgun to support submission of all items in

* sort the dynamic list of shotgun users, make it easier to find a
particular user
@FEATURE: Exposing general properties to the JobList columns to reach "package" and other dicts.
Use "." as delimiter for parameters.
Example:
package.simpleCmdType
package.cmdline
@FEATURE: Adding "Add" button to create custom columns in the Prefs dialog.
@FEATURE: QubeGUI Submit: Email on frame and subjob process failure as well as
job completion/failure.
@FEATURE: Extend the "dependency" field syntax to include "info-<state>-{}"
for arbitrary per-frame and per-job callbacks done manually.
The dependency map extension has been added to the "dependency"
field. This means that callbacks do not have to be scanned in order
to retrieve complex per-frame dependencies. Developers using
complex dependency callbacks will need to update the job "dependency"
field when submitting dependency callbacks directly.
Examples for the "dependency" field. The "link" and jobid ones
create callbacks. The "info-<state>-{}" is just there to inform the
GUI of the job and frame linkages (that would be set manually as
callbacks at submit time along with adding this item.
# Parse the dependency field
# Handles comma separated items:
# <jobid>
# complete-job-<jobid>
# link-<state-<type>-<jobid>
# info-<state>-{'',[]}
# Examples:
# link-complete-job-529, link-complete-work-430, info-complete-{'1':['540:3'], '*':['600:*'], '':['700']} , link-complete-job-300, 900, complete-job-123
# info-<state>-{'':['123','456'], '*':['345:*'], '10':['346:2', 346:4']}
