Network processing status not displayed

[Zeying]

Dear Concerned
I refered to an example python codes from Alexey on network processing and managed to run the following tasks using several nodes.
I can see the processing status in the network monitor just like I ran it in GUI manually.
But in the GUI of that agisoft project on server node, it doesn't show the processing tasks/status like I ran it manually in GUI. I can only check the status in network monitor.
Also when processes finished the project GUI won't update with processed results, unless I close and reopen the that project file then the results are there.
Any idea?

chunk = doc.chunk

Thanks in advance!!

To be clear, when running these scripts in console, GUI doesn't show processing in progress.
But if I close and reopen that project, I can see the processing status.

Hello Zeying,

Seems like it is not possible in the current version to open the network processing dialog in Metashape GUI using only Python API calls.

[Zeying]

Thanks anyway!

Hello Zeying,

Seems like it is not possible in the current version to open the network processing dialog in Metashape GUI using only Python API calls.

Are there any plans to update this? It seems that my scripts are successfully pushing batches to the network but Metashape is unresponsive for the entirety of the network processing.
