Title: BT 0.62 - Deadline Warning
Post by: tlsi2000 on June 26, 2010, 08:43:45 PM
Running Hydrogen@Home with its tight schedules required me to look at the Deadline Warning settings.

As I understand it (I am guessing), the deadline warning is set as:

Current Time  + Estimated Duration >=  Deadline time

This seems to be fine when the deadline time is less than midnight.

But it seems to be failing (that is, just giving the wrong coloration, nothing else),
when the deadline is over the midnight boundary.

Example:

Current Time + Estimated Duration     Warning Time                   Deadline  
4pm                 6 hrs                               3 hrs                            1 am                     OK
4pm                 6 hrs                               4 hrs                            1 am                     Warning Color Shown

I have sent images to the same email given before.
The clock-time is not shown on the images, but they are about 4pm

Thanks.

After posting this, I looked at this in more detail.

I was thinking that the calc was off by one hour, but I am thinking now that the duration was chnaging on me when I was doing the tests, and that I totally missed that.

I believe that it is indeed working correctly.

I may be worth taking a quick look, but do not waste any time on it.

Sorry.
Thanks.

Difficult to get an accurate warning on such short time intervals.
And as you believe it is working correctly, I will only take a quick look at your email.
