gvSIG-Desktop 1.11. User manual

Every time you execute a SEXTANTE algorithm, information about the process is stored in the SEXTANTE history manager. Along with the parameters used, the date and time of the execution are also saved.

This way, it is easy to track the and control all the work that has been developed using SEXTANTE, and easily reproduce it.

The SEXTANTE history manager is a set of registries grouped according to their date of execution, making it easier to find information about an algorithm executed at any particular moment.

SEXTANTE history manager

Process information is kept as a command-line expression, even if the algorithm was launched from the toolbox. This makes it also useful for those learning how to use the command-line interface, since they can call an algorithm using the toolbox and then check the history manager to see how that same algorithm could be called from the command-line.

Apart from browsing the entries in the registry, processes can be reexecuted, simply double-clicking on the corresponding entry.
