Wish List / BoincTasks Stealing Window Focus
December 16, 2019, 02:59:08 AM
It took me a long time to figure this out.  I have finally tracked this problem down to BoincTasks thanks to Window Focus Logger.

http://www.adminscope.com/downloads/window-focus-logger/

BoincTasks is often taking focus from the active window when its minimized to the tray.  Sometimes the computer is almost impossible to use if I'm trying to type something, like this post.  I've tried to disable notices and warnings, but haven't got a solution yet.  Is anyone else having this problem?  I'm on 1.80. Actually I'd like to go back to the old version I had before installing this one, I don't remember the version number but it didn't do this when using it a few years.

I've had a long standing problem with the new project window on my multi GPU and monitor machine.  The window always comes up on a secondary monitor, if it comes up at all.  Sometimes it doesn't show anywhere, at least not where I can find it.  Other times when I find it, it disappears when I'm moving it or trying to type in it. 

I just updated to both 1.78 and the beta 1.8 but the problem is still there.  Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Yesterday I have a nice nvidia driver crash while crunching with BT.  ;D  After this my gpu jobs only show in the gadget.  I restart and restart process made BT program crash.  I had to clear crash message so computer would reboot.  After computer restarted this gpu job condition stayed.  Checking today I find if I uncheck Show GPU Task setting the jobs show.  The setting function seems to get reversed from normal!  :D  They always show in the gadget either way.

BT 1.59
nvidia driver 335.23  650ti Boost card and GT430 card 1 of each
GPUGrid, POEM and Einstein gpu projects.  Einstein run on weak GT430   :P  GPUGrid and Poem run on 650ti but I don't know which at time of crash!  :D

This BT program works great!  It's a weird bug!  ;D

Hello,

Thank you for your programs I enjoy them a lot.  :)

I have a question which I haven't seen answered.  BOINC has a setting for how much processor time to use.  TThrottle also has this setting.  Which takes priority?
Example
BOINC processor time = Use at most50% of processor
TThrottle cpu use is max 50 min 50.
Does this mean BOINC will use 25% of the processor? (TThrottle uses 50% of the BOINC preference setting?)  Or TThrottle ignores this BOINC setting and uses 50% processor time?

Asked another way are TThrottle cpu min/max values determined by the BOINC processor time setting?

I hope this is clear. ;D
Thank you.
