From my experience simulations sometimes may take a lot of time and usually I ran them in background or on another computer via remote desktop. This is why I have to check once in a while if the calculations or simulations are done.
I think that a nice feature would be to add possibility of sound effects e.g. at the end of simulations, calculations or running a script - just to know exactly when the job is finished.
Thank you for the feedback. I have created a feature request and have forwarded it to our developers.
On OSX, there is a built-in system command that can accessed in the Terminal, or directly in a script:
system('say done');
The computer will say the word “done”.
Perhaps you may be interested in the Polish version?
system('say -v Zosia "cześć"');
or
system('say -v Ewa "cześć"');
And for others, you can choose your language.
I have found that on Windows there is also possibility to play sounds with system command line: example 1, example 2.
Although when I tried it in FDTD Solutions script prompt as:
system(“powershell -c echo `a”);
or
system(“powershell -c [System.Media.SystemSounds]::Hand.Play();”);
it did not produce any sound.
How’s the update for this feature?
Hi @Azure. Unfortunately there has been no development on this particular feature request so far. If this feature gets added then I will update in this post.
That would be very helpful if this can be implemented. Thanks.
