Thanks for the response. I did think about opening multiple gui windows but was concerned about possible conflicts when writing to databases (i assume there is one). Anyway its a work around.

As a late developer I have recently started to use the new GUI. Its very impressive but what I would like to do is to fire off a number of jobs to vary parameters say in refinement or auto-rebuilding. I havent been able to work out how to submit multiple jobs via the same configuration tab window.

This isn't currently possible. Unfortunately, it's also a little difficult to change right now, since we're trying to stabilize everything for a 1.5 release and it would require re-arranging large chunks of code. We'll keep it in mind for future versions - I've heard similar requests before.

For now, the phenix.refine GUI now supports saving default parameters for a project, which will automatically load whenever you start the GUI. So once you settle on the basic parameters (reflections, restraints, atom selections, etc.), you can make those the default, and open as many windows as you need and the parameters will be identical except where you change them. (The PDB file, of course, needs to be re-loaded each time.) This isn't quite what you're asking for but will save some time.
