    • Refresh Interval (min): By default, you must request an update on job status from the Supervisor. But you can configure this to happen automatically. Check the box, and set the delay in minutes between refreshes. This will refresh all jobs.
    • Refresh Select (sec): Check the box and set the interval, in seconds, between automatic refreshes of selected jobs only. Resist the temptation to overtax the Supervisor by asking for constant updates that you will probably not be using.
    • Supervisor Override: The UI connects to the first Supervisor that it finds, and in most cases that should be the only one. But if you have another supervisor, say on another subnet or in another domain, you can name it here and check the status of the jobs it is managing. Fill in either the fully qualified name (eg, mysupervisort2.studio.com) or the IP address.
    • Save/Restore Layout: If this is checked, WranglerView will save the current layout on exit, and restore it the next time you run it. If not checked, it will start up with the factory default layout.
    • Studio Preferences: The path to a previously saved preferences file that defines your settings. This will override your own preferences, and it will override the defaults. See above.
    • Studio Defaults: The path to a previously saved preferences file that defines your settings. This will override the Qube! factory defaults. See above.
    • Image Viewer Presets: Several pre-configured command strings to use some common external viewers.
    • Image Viewer: Optional third-party viewer. This will be run for all image types. To define viewers for specific formats, use the External Viewers option below.
    • Image Viewer Options: Options to send to the third-party viewer. The options field accepts a string that will substitute the following %(...)s fields – %(files)s, %(file)s, %(start)s, %(end)s, %(frames)s. If left blank, then %(files)s is assumed, that will send the full list of images.
    • External Viewers: Intended to allow different viewers for different file formats. For example, if you want to use a free viewer for jpeg files, so that you don't use up licenses of your not-free exr viewer application. File Pattern is a glob pattern, like *.jpeg
    • SimpleCmd Additional Paths: Additional directories that contain SimpleCmd submission UIs, typically custom to your facility.
    • Job Defaults Method:
    • Path Translation Map:
      At submit-time, paths can be automatically translated so they match what the render farm Workers expect. It is a simple string replace. Set the "From" field to the value to change, and the "To" field to the new value. It will perform the path translation based on the order of the listed map items. 

      ExampleExamples:

      • Converting OS X Volumes to a UNC path:
      • Changing all \ (backslash, must be escaped) to /
        • From: \\
        • To: /

    • Refresh Button Clears Cache: If checked, the local cache will be cleared with each refresh. This is safer (the information is always current) but slower.
    • Query SQL: If checked, this will search the Supervisor database with SQL directly, instead of using the Python API. This is a bit faster and produces a bit more information.
    • SQL User: Username to search the database as.
    • Job Limit: Restricts the number of jobs returned from the Supervisor. Intended to improve performance in large installations.
    • Job Updated Since: Restricts the number of jobs returned from the Supervisor, by age. Intended to improve performance in large installations.
    • Data Warehouse Server: Set if the data warehouse resides somewhere other than the Supervisor (see Performance Charts)
    • Account Choices: Space-separated list of names to populate the Account field of the submission UI. Somewhat deprecated in favor of tags.
    • Account Customizable: If checked, users can add their own account name(s) at submission time. Deprecated in favor of tags.
    • Num lines to load: Sets the number of lines of logs to load when viewing them via the Administration menu.
    • Clipboard data separator: This sets the character that will separate multiple job ids which have been copy/pasted from the jobs pane.
