Note: Running on Linux Mint 20.3
1. On the Projects tab highlighting a range executes the command for the top row, maybe also the second row, and occasionally none.
2. Clicking "Ready to report" doesn't do anything.
3. We used to be able to issue a command to all WUs under a collapsed folder? E.g., change "Ready to start" to Suspend. Please reinstate.
4. If a WU is tagged Suspend at Checkpoint (S@C) and it finishes before suspending the Status changes to Suspended instead of Uploading and Ready To Report. The WU does vanish.
5. No way to remove highlighting on all rows with at least one row remaining highlighted.
6. 8. In Computers/Info popup IP shown as 127.1.0.0 not its actual IP, e.g. 192.168.1.202. Looks like you're taking it from client_state <ip_addr>127.0.1.1</ip_addr>.
7. GPU not shown. client_state:
<coproc_cuda>
   <count>1</count>
   <name>NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti</name>
   <available_ram>11546263552.000000</available_ram>
8. Comment: Computer Info displays far more CPU flags than seem useful for BOINC, but maybe they are to someone. I see you get them from client_state <p_features>. sudo inxi -v 3 lists the relevant ones to me: avx avx2 lm nx pae sse sse2 sse3 sse4_1 sse4_2 ssse3.
9. Didn't all suspended WUs collapse into a single folder? Be nice if they would, or not in light of #3 above.
10. When a project is Suspended on the Projects tab the Tasks tab switches status from "Running" to "Waiting to run" but it should be "Suspended".
11. Occasionally WUs marked "At checkpoint" keep running and the verbose label in Status column "| Checkpoint ⏸ Don't close or leave window" is removed. I suspect that what may be happening is that if a task is marked S@C before 1:00 the command is not honored.
12. On Computers tab Password is just two asterisks. Would like to see it.
13. Computers/cpid pulls the <host_cpid> from the computer's client_state.xml file and displays it in this column. There is also <cross_project> and the one the GRC wallet uses <external_cpid>. Recommend naming the column host_cpid. I was scratching my head thinking that's not my cpid. The <host_cpid> is used to identify individual computers (hosts) in project device and stats aggregation sites, but I never go that deep in the weeds. https://boinc.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=12602
14. Projects tab used to display the number of WUs by type: CPU_WU/GPU_WU/NCI_WU. That was useful, please restore it.
. Computers tab has no way to request a refresh. It takes a long time to fill itself out and some fields seem like they may never fill in, e.g. Local machine cpid (not that I need it). One computer says cpid undefined but when I remote in <host_cpid> is defined in its client_state.xml file. Maybe File/Restart is the way to do a refresh, yes that filled out BOINC column but did not correct cpid column.
15. When Aborting multiple tasks the task name word wraps and the popup quickly grows larger than the page. I don't need to see the name of the task since they're highlighted. I just need to see the total number tasks being Aborted.
16. Recommend renamining Tasks column V_Memory to VRAM. Since there's values listed for CPU WUs I thought this was referring to virtual memory. I see you get the VRAM from the client_state. The VRAM now totals to far greater than GPU card has. I can see the actual using VRAM committed for each WU using the Linux utility NVITOP. Not sure where you get the values. No idea what the number listed for CPU WUs means.
17. When a CPU WU is suspended the CPU Utilization seems to remain fixed at its last reading. Shouldn't it go to zero?

1. With "Show CPU tasks" unchecked any WUs that display something, e.g. 3 CPUs, in the "Use" column are still displayed.
2. On the Projects tab highlighting a range executes the command for maybe the top 2 row, 1 row or none. Previous release worked fine.
3. Occasionally WUs marked "At checkpoint" keep running and the verbose label in Status column "| Checkpoint ⏸ Don't close or leave window" is removed.
4. Adjusting column widths is difficult.
5. No way to remove highlighting on all rows with at least one row remaining highlighted.
6. Reinstating right-click functions would be convenient.

1. No Suspend on Checkpoint. This is the most important feature of BoincTasks.
2. Impossible to set column widths. Each time a column width is changed it also changes the width of columns on both sides. If another column is added it appears off screen to the right with no bottom slider bar.
3. On Projects tab if you sort on Project they're case-sensitive and so climateprediction.net appears at the bottom after World Community Grid. Please make it case insensitive.
4. On Projects tab if sorted on Project and one wants to highlight the top Project, e.g. Asteroids, you cannot. It highlights the last Asteroid computer and everything else. Below the top Project you can highlight any range you want.
5. On the Computers tab if you highlight a computer and click the Info button you get a nice display but it does not reveal the GPU. Please add GPU info.
6. On the Messages tab please add the ability to display a specific Project. Also it would be nice if it was displayed in descending order with the most recent events at the top and didn't require paging many pages to see latest events.
7. Please allow not viewing NCI WUs. Used to be able to select what to view: CPU and/or GPU and/or NCI.

Time-Of-Use electric metering saves much money over the year but during the summer peak rates jump up 8.5x. Also record breaking heat waves are plaquing us.
I'd love to see the Extra/BOINC Preferences/Processor/Day-of-the-week-override expanded to issue a Suspend at Checkpoint command followed by a Shutdown computer command after all BOINC tasks have halted. TIA.

I can't find a way to disable the graphs. I've never used them. BT spends a lot of time doing something, I suspect it may be updating data for use in the graphs. I wish BT was more responsive.

I just installed TThrottle for Windows but I really needed a temp monitor for my Linux computers. Any plans to make a Linux version???
