Queues

Download and build queue controls — pause/resume, reorder, parallelism, speed limits, and schedules.

OPAL runs long operations through two queues: one for downloads (engines, gems, assets) and one for builds (engine source builds, project builds). They share a common look and feel — add, pause, resume, reorder, cancel — and both surface live status in the status bar at the bottom of the window.

The queues are built to survive interruption: close OPAL mid-operation and reopen later, and the queue is intact.

In this section

  • Downloads — Pause/resume, reorder, cap concurrency, throttle bandwidth, and schedule download windows.
  • Builds — Queue, pause/resume, cancel, reorder, and view build logs.
  • Status bar — The bottom-bar widgets and drawers that show queues at a glance.
