Job Editor Window

Job Editor Window is the main part of RockTomate: this is where most time is spent editing Job and running Jobs.

When instantiated, the window gets auto-docked next to Game or Scene windows if they're present.

Toolbar

At the top, the window displays a relative path to a Job which is currently being edited.

Steps

Opens Step Browser Window.

Variables

Opens Variable Manager Window.

Logs

Opens Job Session Console Window.

Expand/Collapse All

Expands/Collapses all steps that have child steps.

Play

Begins the execution of a currently edited Job.

Stop

Interrupts the execution of a currently executing Job.

Note that sometimes the operation may not be possible depending on the nature of the Job. For example, when building a project, a progress bar appears which blocks input on background UI including RockTomate's Job Editor Window. There is now workaround for this.
