No not really, I could leave it out. ;D

again from 3 work units of a lot of them, that there is no running time.
(in the log tab)

I'll have to confirm at latter stage of crunching to test if this has been
previous version or the actual one.

V 0.57
- Add: Projects: A column with the Time left / project. Taking into account the number of cores / gpus the system has

I've noticed the same problem the folks on BOINC alpha are intensively criticizing the BOINC client for: suming the duration of long (or rather huge) tasks together and dividing them by the number of CPUs gives the client a warm fuzzy feeling ;D that there's enough work on-board to last until the next connection for a work request is necessary. BT is now approaching the same way...

Examples for a 3 CPU machine:

(Note: I'm using '+' instead of 'd' for "days". I prefer it for better... lucidity (I don't know whether this is a good term).)

Resume: no I do not have a solution :) just wanted to point it out.

When the project is suspended and there are tasks, the status should be "project suspended by user" but BT says "waiting to run" - for task that has been started and "ready to run" - for task that hasn't been started. Though the colors are for suspend.

That's strange: I get "Waiting to run,Project suspended" and "Ready to start,Project suspended" respectively.  Looks right to me except maybe needing a space after the comma, which I won't quibble about.

If by "the status should be" you mean the way BOINCManager does it, I disagree.  BT's version is more informative of the true status of the task(s).

I changed "," into ", "

You don't get the "Project suspended" message as well?

The column is more intended like a minimum indicator.  How much work do I have left. ;D
