The Command Queue Window

When the user presses a command button, the commands associated with that button are added to a queue. Commands are then extracted from the queue one at a time and executed.

The VDAT command queue window, shown in the right image, allows the user to monitor the status of the queue. Each entry in the queue is shown with a name composed by the name of the button pressed and of the command. E.g. the selected item has been inserted pressing a button called “Raw to deformer” and will execute the command “extractfits”. Hovering over one item will show a tooltip with the full command string, as shown in the image below. See The Command Interpreter Tool for details on the structure of the command string.

Commands can be removed from the queue by selecting them and hitting the Delete key. Apple computer users might need to use fn + Delete.
