QubeGUI RELEASE NOTES SUMARY
@FEATURE: Houdini in-app submission for hython render
@FEATURE: Adding image filter to "generate movie" interface to allow one to
specify the images to use in the movie generation if multiple images
per frame are rendered.
@FEATURE: AfterEffects: Extracting the "Output Render Path" to the submit
dialog for in-app submission. Added some alert dialogs.
This is particularly useful if using "mklink" on Windows renderfarm
technique for auto-path translation when submitting from OSX
machines. The Output Render Path needs to be specified or AE will
try to render it relative to the aerender.exe directory instead of
relative to C:\.
@FEATURE: Adding regex_outputPaths to the "nuke_cmdline" jobtype to extract
output images. Expected text format:
"Writing <filePath> took <float> seconds"
@FIX: Fix truncated worker executable path when $QBDIR environment
variable is not set
@FIX: Reduce charting data load time in QubeGUI startup;
Default to chart data for last 12 hours, not entire dataset
@FIX: Handle issue with changes in y-range for subsequent redraws
@FIX: Default controlChanged to try to bind as a string control
(like is done to create the control) if the type is not identified.
@FIX: Maya help parser translate option type of 'name' to 'string'
@FIX: Save recently used Supervisors to the Preferences.
@FIX: Make a local copy of the job dict before saving them as a "preset"
to avoid it from accidentally being modified in-place by submit.
@FIX: Load prefs even if a job "preset" has agenda items of type
Work (will ignore them).
@FIX: Unset PYTHONPATH,PYTHONHOME, and other env vars
(specifically to OSX) so the daemons can be started properly.
@FIX: Launch Desktop Worker via 'launchctl', so it can be shutdown on
logout also does not inherit GUI python environment
@FIX: movieGenerator job is added to the parent job's pgrp
@FIX: Adding "" around the exe for the transcoder "generateMovie"
interface. Also having it default to blank values so the artist
can set it the first time.
@FIX: Add Exception check for retrieving processlist on windows for is
Supervisor or Worker running. Addresses pywintypes.com_error seen
on a few occasions.
@FIX: 3dsMax BatchRender: Forcing / to \ for "scene" parameter in
preDialog and postDialog since copy command fails if / used in paths
@FIX: Handle case when unicode (non-ascii) characters showing up in the
process list used to determin if Supervisor or Worker is running.
@FIX: Handling the case where ^M characters are at the end of the
qube_guiPreferences.conf file.
@CHANGE: Added Cinema4D paths for R11.5 and R12 to the dropdown c4dExe
options.
@CHANGE: Added (x86) path options for aerender choices. Common to have
64-bit OS running 32-bit AE right now with those versions.
@CHANGE: Link miGen and ray render job dependencies at the frame level,
instead of at the job level.
@CHANGE: move job['kind'] into "Qube Advanced Job Control Section"
@CHANGE: shotgun: sort list of shotgun logins prior to presenting to user
@CHANGE: Setting host.subjobs() to use host.get('subjobs',[]) instead so it
will work with 6.1 api.
