Option in cuegui to force refresh and/or change rate of updates #1325

Open ecLaurent opened 8 months ago

Hello, opencue tends to takes sometimes a bit too long to refresh, it does not really feel fluid and can become a bit annoying when testing things which require kicking off many fast renders.

It would be nice to get a setting somewhere in the config files to change the frequency of the gui update if that is possible. If not, at least an option in the gui menu to force the refresh, with a F5 shortcut, would be really helpful.

Replied in the corresponding mail thread and duplicated here for reference.

It seems like you can configure the update interval value via the cuegui.yml file. This field specifically: https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenCue/blob/b203380ba4361e887692ae89f9c5a371e4b7177c/cuegui/cuegui/config/cuegui.yaml#L18

@n-jay Adding a comment because you flagged this issue during today's TSC meeting.

+1 to tweaking the refresh setting as needed. I believe the Load button in the Monitor Jobs panel can also be used to force a refresh.

The refresh interval will tend to be user-dependent. For users with larger deployments, refreshing the job list is expensive so a longer interval is appropriate.

I agree with the general sentiment that the UI should be more reactive to these sorts of things though.
