But I finally got the bug. [...] V 1.73 should solve the problem...

Solved. Perfect!

...and I added a lot of new stuff for BoincTasks.

Like "TThrottle 1.73: New: Integration with BoincTasks.. of local and remote hosts."? How far?

On the Options tab (or how is it actually called in English) I've tried to check "Enable BoincTasks" - what should I look for? After unchecking it, the checkboks remains disabled for some 20 seconds, it gets enabled afterwards.

After trying to start BT 0.29 for 5-6 times it merely said "Can't open some file" and terminated. Now it is finally running. Just one note (belongs to other section actually): the Graphs dlg is showing just black rounded backgrounds.

[edit]A minute later BT crashed after opening the context menu on some task. After a newstart, the graphs are displayed correctly.[/edit]

Something is leaking, maybe a handle of some kind.

Pretty exactly a Thread handle. A couple of them at once

I go hunting for them tomorrow. Shouldn't be too hard to find.... I hope.

I guess so, I hope I gave you a somehow good description.

Good luck!

The counts are actually nearly equal at any point in time, I just can not type that fast  
OK, actually it is leaking just a couple of handles per second, while throttling 5 processes, no idea how many threads in them (maybe 15-16).

The leaking pattern (in realtime, at the moment, with possibly 16 threads being enumerated and handled) is: a group of 16 handles is leaked once in a 3-5 seconds.

OK, as soon as TThrottle started it's primary job - throttling the processes, suddenly the handle count rose - TThrottle is leaking Thread handles, it is leaking tens (later to hundreds (later possibly to (tens of) thousands)) of handles pointnig to each and any thread of a process being throttled  

Example (after just a few minutes of throttling):
minirosetta_2.00_windows_intelx86.exe(27660): 31892
References: 122
Handles: 121

minirosetta_2.00_windows_intelx86.exe(27660): 32388
References: 117
Handles: 116

primegrid_llr_5.09_windows_intelx86.exe(31824): 27324
References: 111
Handles: 109

This could explain resource problems I've been occasionally experiencing in the past weeks (possibly because I do rarely reboot my computer, once in a week or two).

After restarting TThrottle, the handle counts stabilized around 420, 93, 252.



I'll check the numbers more often.

I've just noticed thet my TThrottle 1.71 is using an incredible number of handles: according to Process Manager, after a week of runtime (and consuming 3:50 hours of kernel time and 1:02 hours of user time) it uses 1 330 535 Handles, 102 GDI Handles, 261 USER Handles. (For those unaware - just 10 apps on my system use more than 1000 handles, just 4 of them between 2000 and 6000 handles.) The first number does not move, the latter two numbers oscillate around the mentioned values. I've noticed it in the Task Manager - TThrottle was consuming 10.5 MB of system's Paged Pool (maybe 15% of the whole system).

This is just an initial notice, later I'll investigate when the number of handles does go up...

After "desperately seeking my rosetta@home project for a couple of seconds long", I've noticed that the projects are alphabetically listed case-sensitively, i.e. first the projects which names begin with a capital characters, followed by projects beginning with lower case characters.

Could the sorting be done in a case-insensitive way?

The import of a list of computers could be a ice feature (BoincView could search clients on a local network and add them to the list if they were running BOINC, a common password could be optionally entered in the search dialog).

I guess that the main problem to solve is that just your BoincTasks is loosing its setup. My BT correctly keeps it over restarts.

TTh 1.70 is adding two more 1º lines above the upper 10º line, instead of just one (as it was previously). Intentionally?

http://www.efmer.eu/download/boinc/test/TThrottle_SKY.rar  And this is everything you need to build the language dll.

The .vcproj file errorneously contains non-existing RelativePath="..\TThrottle\res\eFMerCpu.ico" and RelativePath="..\TThrottle\res\idr_hand_link.ico" in addition to the valid RelativePath=".\res\eFMerCpu.ico" and RelativePath=".\res\idr_hand_link.ico".
Also, the Culture="1036" is there a couple of times (instead of Culture="1051"), meaning the Throttle_SKY.rc's Culture is sometimes set to "French (France) (0x40c)" (instead of "Slovak (0x41b)"), in addition to some French remainders in .\x64\Release folder). All this was probably not intended, but does not hurt

The graph also displays an untranslated "Please wait, not enough data yet" - you know where and why  

Bsides this, the resource dlls build just fine and play nicely with the 1.70 application.

I made a small change
[...]
is
   iMax = (int) fMax;
   iMax+=9;
   iMax/=10;
   iMax*=10;
   iMax+=1;

100 -> 109 -> 10 -> 100 -> 101

That makes just the difference at 100 
It means the step is at 101 instead of 100.

Yes, this made the change. 

I'd just recommend adding a 0.5 prior to the first rounding (or maybe all float->int roundings), like
   iMax = (int) (fMax+0.5);
but this is maybe just a question of taste.

P.S. Writing any text longer then some 12 lines is a torture, the input field is being scrolled up after each typed character    

For clarification - I've meant writing a longer text into the Forum.  Could anything be done with this? 

I don't have any problems with my Firefox browser

You are right. No problem with SeaMonkey as well. Just the iExploder 

everything that we're saying is correct, but not so correct, because the computer (Laptop) I connect
has no dns known available that the fixed computers at home should know in the remote_host.cfg,
so, is it anyway of giving a fix name to the laptop and this intro in the remote_host.cfg of the fixed ones??

And what about giving also the laptop a DynDNS name? The same way as the router at home?

Could it be possible that the project and download pages were obviously visible from this forum? Or am I just not able to see it?

Be it a separate category in Generals, or at least a question in FAQs pointing to them, or even maybe the small "eFMer  BoincTasks  TThrottle" banner in the upper right forum corner could point to their web pages?
