This is something which is confusing new users of Afanasy (atleast on my end).
"Render" is usually refering to an output of a "Render job/task".
Deadline : "Slave"
Qube : "Worker"
Tractor : "Blade"
RoyalRender : "Client"
Render Pal : "Client"
Smedge : "Engine"
Flamenco : "Worker"
Backburner : "Server"
My suggestion would be either "Render Node" or just "Node".
Rename "Render" to something else
Re: Rename "Render" to something else
May be it is a good idea.
But not into 'Node'
As in the code, there is 'af::Node', that is a base class for any node in a container.
Job, render, monitor classes are based from 'af::Node'.
Or we should rename lots it in the code.

Also 'Client' is used in a code too, it is any client, and GUI(monitor) and render.

'Server' and 'slave' words are used too
Server is afserver, slave is used in multi-hosts tasks along with 'master'.

Re: Rename "Render" to something else
Yes, Server is the worst possible name for a Render Node
Blade perhaps?
It seems that afermer is already using that term.
And Blade is also used as a term for physical machines.

Re: Rename "Render" to something else
May be.
But not for now, so much to rename...
( at least it should be 2.3.0 )
Lets keep this issue, may be some other names we will think up.

Re: Rename "Render" to something else
Yes, or perhaps even wait for 3.0?

Re: Rename "Render" to something else
I'd normally vote for "slave", "worker", or "node", but given the already-used nature of most of the good names, I'd even recommend just "renderers" - the problem is that the "render" button looks like a verb, an action you can do, not a tab filled with the nodes doing the rendering.
