History: Sometimes when a task is missed, CPU % will display as "-1.#J"

Can the Tasks be exported as xml as well?

Can we have a different column width for every properties? Like if I set the width of computer properties, it won't affect the width of projects and task. Right now its one for all properties.

Under history, I got Aborted (-233) on status. What is this?

2 request

1st:
Under Computers tab, can you add "Properties" context menu (similar to Task Properties)? It would be too long if added as a new column.

It would display:
Processor
OS
Memory
Disk
Co-Processor

nothing fancy; just what ever is written on the messages (first few lines) will be the values. Also make it exportable to html or xml 

2nd:
Computers tab again   
new column: BOINC Platform

can be found on the 1st line of message; eg 6.10.58 for windows_x86_64 -> windows_x86_64 is what I'm looking.

Thanks in advance.

BOINC Tasks Settings->WWW: clicking OK does not close the window.

Transfer Tab: items listed will auto center (vertically).

Can we make this "as is" or make it optional? Its like playing FPS game with auto aim 

BOINC has dn/up limit of 2 per client. But If you have 10 or more machines connected to the same internet pipe, your network will choke (for projects with huge download task and huge upload task).

So I wish BoincTask will have some control to the number of DN/UP (limit the number of concurrent DN/UP for connected clients in BT). Also, as BT can control host from outside (WAN), make it a policy thing so not all hosts will be affected.

Thanks

1.)I thought this item has been fix: "BOINC Settings: Try to write back only changed items". It doesn't write back only the changed items.
Its not on the todo list anymore.

2. )Another issue: BOINC settings >- textbox for "only after computer has been idle for"
should be grayed out if both are checked:
-while computer ....
-use gpu ....

3.) still has garbage in log if connection is lost.

(Changed) Removed (obsolete) computer icons from the toolbar computer.

I think its best to rename this to toolbar stats but it doesn't seem right because its a single item; better move it to toolbar operation.

I don't know if its by design or what not but "about boinctask" should be modal window. It doesn't look good when you change (view) application - that window stays on top.

Taskbar (notification icon), When you right click it shows up the context menu but stays shown even when click other windows - meaning I have to pick any item in order for the context menu to be hidden again.

Fatal error in language file; Group: <GroupMenuComputer> string header in pos 115, <Computers> not found; Only exist in ENU though.

quick fix is to modify: BoincTasks_ENU.btlang and insert the line
"   <Computers>      Computers      </>"
under
<GroupMenuComputer>

So it would look like this:

Code Select Expand

<GroupMenuComputer>
<Detect> Find computers </>
<Add> Add computer </>
<Remove> Remove computer </>
<ConnectCombined> Connect combined </>
<Connect> Connect </>
<Computers> Computers </>
</GroupMenuComputer>

Typo in the grid headers:
Computer:  |2 Computers
Task: |3 Project
Transfers: |2 Project
History: |2 Project


Can you make the "Selection bar" scalable?

Can we have <suspend_cpu_usage> added?
