max placed activities

[liquid]

Given the status of max placed activities I wonder if the next time FET reaches that number it replaces the previous schedule. I think that would be useful after writing the highest timetable to check e.g. conflicts.

FET places n activities, there is a timetable 1.

FET places n-3 activities.

FET places again n activities -> there is a different current timetable 2 (possibly very different, but possibly similar, I am not very sure, tests are needed), but the highest timetable stays the same, timetable 1. I hope I am not mistaking and I am remembering well. You might want to do a test, save highest timetable 1, move the timetable files, then wait for FET to reach n activities again, save highest timetable, compare the timetable files with KDiff3.

I am not sure I understand your words "I think that would be useful after writing the highest timetable to check e.g. conflicts."

I think you got it right what I meant.
Would it be possible the highest timetable in the sense of the same max placed activities not to be always the same?
I mean this mechanics:

• At a stage there are 500 max placed activities (of 600)
• Then after some time there are 430 out of 600 activities placed
• Then after next some time there are 500 out of 600 activities placed again

What I'd like to examine is this next the same max because I suppose this next timetable will be a different one, at least partly, and I could see it writing the next highest stage timetable (here 500). I think this (or these) new timetable(s) would help me to find the cause why it doesn't generate or else I have to wait for at least n+1 max activities placed which may last quite a long time.

You could wait for "max 500 placed" again and press "Write current stage timetable" exactly at that time. But this is ugly.

I prefer the current official behavior for the official FET. But I could try to make you a customization as you need. Let me know if you would like it.

I think I'd like it and I feel it would be valuable in some circumstances. Thanks.

OK, it was easy. Get it from https://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/download/custom/liquid/

Thanks very much. I'll try this immediately.
