Steps for creating a QubeGUI submission dialog

[Scot Brew]

A recent question came up about the steps to create a custom submission dialog for the QubeGUI.  Below are the recommended steps to get it up and running.

Developing a new jobtype
1.   Create a submit_*.py script
   ⁃   Tip: Use as reference the existing submit_*.py scripts, like submit_cmdline.py.
2.   Update the qube.py script  (adds a submit menu item)
   ⁃   Tip: search for use of "maya"
   ⁃   import <your submit script>
   ⁃   add a menu item for it and bind a callback to it
   ⁃   create a callback for the menu item
3.   Update the jobList.py (adds ability to rt-click and resubmit)
   ⁃   Tip: search for use of "maya"
   ⁃   import <your submit script>
   ⁃   register the jobs in the "registeredJobs" variable
4.   Testing
   ⁃   The submit script should be able to be run directly from the commandline like "python <your submit script>.py"
   ⁃   Launch QubeGUI and submit your job from under the Submit menu
   ⁃   Resubmit your job by rt-clicking on it in the JobList panel

When resubmitting a job, if you get the message "No submit dialog registered for job type", then you will need to register your jobtype and submission dialog in the jobList.py. 

See the previous posting for details.
