Feature: qrun: allow repeated use for multiple commands

[Martitza]

qrun is very useful. It would be even more useful if I could clear and reuse it more multiple commands(instead of just canceled) after it runs a command. When I use qrun, I usually end up runnign several commands in a row. Having a single instance of qrun would be more convenient than starting an instance for each command. For compatibility with toosl which expect qrun to return, this might be implemented with a switch like qrun --persistent.

I agree. I'd a "Reset" button that cleared the fields and put the dialog back into it's initial state.

We have similar bug report asking for multiple run of qcommit.

So I's like to fix this in universal way (for all qsubprocess-based dialogs).

I'm thinking about adding button instead of Cancel (because it becomes inactive when operation
finished successfully) with the label either Restart or Reset as you say. Maybe Restart will be better?

E.g.

[ Close ] [ Restart ]

And then we using this approach for all q-dialogs.

Actually, I just realized that it really does work the way I need. Only the layout could be more intuitive.

Alexander has provided a very good description in the comment right before this one.

That's an awesome idea. I suggested the name "Reset" because it's a
standard button. See
