Pause and limit tasks

OpenDroneMap Desktop

I did a search to see if this had been asked already and I’m not finding an answer.

I’m currently running a large dataset that will take some time to complete. I have another smaller dataset that I’d like to run, and hopefully, have completed first. This brings up two questions:

  1. Can running tasks from one project be paused to allow tasks from other projects to complete?
  2. Can you limit the number of concurrently running tasks by WebODM user or Projects? I guess this would allow you to set a priority on a Project, say for large, long term projects (380 acres, lots of data) to allow smaller (50 acres) data sets to run.

  1. This is a good feature request. Can you add this here: What would you like to see next? - #25 by RyanF ?
  2. You can set the number of processes that a job runs on with --max-concurrency, which should allow the machine to have extra capacity. @pierotofy – how would this be handled with respect to queuing?

Paused tasks would probably be just put at the back of the queue.

Is there a way to change the concurrent task count (from 2)? Would be even better if this could be set without having to restart the application.

Yes, see GitHub - OpenDroneMap/NodeODM: A lightweight REST API to access aerial image processing engines such as ODM or MicMac

node index.js --help

	--parallel_queue_processing <number> Number of simultaneous processing tasks (default: 2)

Pierotofy,

Any way to change the concurrent task count from the Webodm website interface?

Thank you.

Any progress on this feature request… currently all three processes i have started are all waiting for each other… need a way to pause and hopefully get the next to start automaticly so when i go to bed i will not wake up to “do you want to start the next process?…” propmt

OK after being forced to press cancel for the hung processes i find the cancel button reveals options where the process can be re-started… perhaps this should be made more obvious by changing the name of the button
