Dear Sirs:

I was wanting to know if there could be an addition to your program or to Bionic in general that would safely move work between computers over a local network.  I have a computer that downloaded too much work and will possibly loose possible credits when compiled after the deadline.  I would love to send the projects to my other computer that is low on work and has its deadlines many months from now. 

I want to send part of this project material to my other computer on the local intranet and let it compile it and produce the results before the deadline occurs.  I heard that you can do it manually using a USB Flash drive and deleting files before moving from the drive, but there are so many ways for it to go wrong from looking on other help sites. 

Are the programmers thinking along this line for a version in the future or will I have to keep this on the wish list for now on?

Thanks......

As far as I know BOINC, this isn't allowed. You can't move parts of your work from one computer to another. This causes a lot of cheating problems....
BOINC will not allow this, as this info is stored on the other side, there is no way around.
You should be able to copy all your work from one computer to another by simply copying the entire folder. But that's a risk as well, you may loose all your work.

Try

Great, that did it.
Now the URL is shown instead of an empty line.

Sorting by column header in the tasks tab does not seem to work properly.  Sometimes it rearranges the rows, sometimes not, but even when it does rearrange the rows, it still does not look sorted.

Can you give me an example.
And if you do can you give me the column sequence. Like Computer, Projects, Name etc.
This is a really puzzling problem.
It may just as well be a incompatibility with the beta / alpha releases.

I get only unable to connect when I try to add the projects with BoincTasks

On a related note, could you add an option to turn on grid lines?

Why would you want grid lines? I would be rather busy with various colors and stripings.

My other 2 hosts (both dual core/no GPU, Vista SP2), also have PrimeGrid tasks in Panic Mode (but no deadline warning) and BT shows progress in agreement with BM.

The warning is only activated when a task is within the set time period. Tasks may go into Panic Mode long before that. And Panic Mode has it's own color, so it's a warning as well.

--NEW ISSUE--

Actually, I thought I saw "something, somewhere" in the forum on this but can't find it.  Tasks running in Panic Mode (see above) continue to show status "Running High P" when suspended (in addition to suspended, user request, whatever).  Tasks running in normal scheduler mode do not continue to show as Running.  This, at least, is consistent across all tasks/hosts.

Best wishes.

This is something I can't place.
Did you see this yourself? Where did you see it. The problem may already been solved.

Sorry but yes, I'm reproducing this in v0.42 on demand, including as I type this.  With 3 cores running in Panic Mode (with deadline warning), and the client either Snoozed or Suspended, I'm getting a Status column thus: "Running High P., deadline warning,suspended: user request".  The 4th core task, in Panic Mode but without deadline warning, reads: "Running High P., suspended: user request".

With tasks running in normal scheduler mode and the client either Snoozed or Suspended, the Status column 'correctly' reads "suspended: user request".  This is consistent on 3 hosts.  Host environments are as listed earlier.

B/W

Thanks, I added it to the Bug list

The final for the next version: BoincTasks_DEU.btlang_v0.42_v0.1.

Thanks also to aendgraend and Saenger. 

Added to the new version 0.43

To answer all questions:

I limited the % in transfers to 100%.
Changed the progress % so it should now progress normally. That is; in the first 1% the calculation was done differently.
Now this is only done in the first 0.01%, why because otherwise you can't see GPU tasks progress in the first couple of seconds.

Occasionally it happens in the Transfers, that more data is actually reported as transferred than the net size (be it the overhead or any error), Boinc Manager displays it like (now in one of my Rosetta uploads) "100% 80.39/79.79KB". For the same upload, BT is displaying "100.755% 81K", the blue background seems to match the progress rectangle. (I've a snapshot picture around.) (* Could we get the "so far transferred data" with resolution to at least 3 decimal places, like 80.4 K or 365 K or 6.72 M?) (* Could we get displayed also the amount "to be transferred"?)

But I've also noticed one transfer to Spinhenge, not noticed the bytes, but the final progress was 111.11% and the blue background was way over the progress' rectangle - touching the number of transferred data in the adjacent column. I guess that the %-tage could freely go over 100% (if much more was transferred than planned), but the colored background should not leave the rectangle...

I will limit the % to 100% as the rest is probably overhead or retries.  It happens more frequently when the connection is busy.

This is someone else who solved this problem. But why?

Yes. Settings / View / Refresh rate is overall, but (because of communication costs etc.) far remote hosts can be mostly reread less-less often than the local ones.

Sorry for my delay, I've later edited my message and added one more item:

• Sometimes my BT is minimised for a couple of hours or even days. After opening the GUI, usually a very outdated information is kept displayed. I can see that BT is counting down while waiting for the next refresh moment, then communicates the new data with BOINC client and redraws what is displayed. Could the redraw be immediately done after reopening a minimized GUI? I guess that the up-to-date info is continuously available. Even the taskbar's Gadget is continuously showing an up-to-date info (a side-effect of being refreshed after Show only over icon for ... seconds is over ), while the main GUI may be still just counting down for the next update.

Added to the list an immediate refresh on display.
