Multiple Profile Calculation

There was a request last year for (automatic) multiple calculations. In a related feature request, I'd like a way to simply calculate multiple profiles one after another.

The need comes from having a number of different profiles which I keep updated and run various "what if" changes against. In the current implementation, I must select one and run the simulation. Once the report appears, I can then select another to start running. In any case, I have to be at the computer and start each profile simulation in turn once the previous finishes. (This is usually a wait of several minutes for each profile.)

What I would like to do is either select multiple profiles or all profiles and start the simulations. Each produces a separate report which opens as usual but I can go away and let the computer work for some period of time until all have been simulated.

Ideally, a "Simulae All" menu item or button would open a dialog showing a list of each profile name with a check box for selecting it as part of the simulation group. Selecting all desired profiles and then clicking OK would start the sequential simulations allowing the user to do something else while ESPlanner works its magic.

This feature would be very useful for those of us who often run multiple profile simulations at a sitting as well and professional planners who may want to recalculate multiple client profiles following some global change. This may even be a plus for ESPlanner programmers since it would be a perfect tool for automated running of a large suite of test cases against new software releases.
