Now on 0.78. The Tasks and Transfers tabs still behave ... sometimes correctly, but sometimes no update in a couple of minutes. Currently monitoring local 6.11.9 and remote 6.11.9 with TTh. Regardless of the combination of displayed machines. Other tabs have no (0) problems.

Heh. Not one. Both machines' BTs are now in such weird state. (Waiting or Updating... or Switched, busy...)
It seems that the BTs are puzzled with the older (Win XP SP3 x32) machine. When I limit both BTs to display just the newer (Win7 x64) machine's client, they behave correctly.

I have the same thing happening (not BT version specific) except that I'm running 6 Win 7-64 and 3 Win XP-64 machines.  Two are attached by wireless lan and I'm thinking that they may have something to do with the problem.  Sometimes things run well for a while then the updating problems start again.  Often have to close BT and restart it to get the Tasks tab to update.  History updates fine and the other tabs don't seem to be as much of a problem, just Tasks.

Since changing to a custom date format in BT v0.78, the "Completed" and "Reported" fields in "History" are blank.

My custom date string is:  %m-%d-%y  %H:%M


Also (not such a big deal) in "History" "Elapsed Time" is still being reported in the d,HH:MM:SS format even after HHH:MM:SS is selected in Settings/View:

I've been using this lately and it works great for tweaking the priorities of various projects.  A problem I'm having though is that if I try to set projects to different priorities they all change at once to the last one set.  For instance, if I set project 1 to "Above" then set Project 2 to "Below", both will change to "Below".  If I then highlight Project 1 and then select "Above", both change to "Above".  Am I doing something wrong?

There is no way to set priorities of different projects as far as I know.
You can rename the exe and run the program twice and add the project exe name more explicit.

Named the second exe to Priority64-2.exe and it worked just fine.  One project is running at "Above" and the other at "Below".  Thanks for the great suggestion 

Works like a charm.  Both GPUs are reporting correct temps

Finally .

Took a while but was worth it.  Thanks for all the hard work!

I've used this feature quite a bit and have had no problem whatsoever.

Tried an experiment: pausing the NVidia GPU causes the BT temp to equal the ATI temp after the NVidia temp drops, so I think what's getting reported for both cards is the GpuMax.
Also noticing that the new BT versions are using MUCH more CPU time than v0.73 (about 5x on my machines) and at the same time don't seem to update as well.

Ok now I see what's going wrong, I hope V 0.77 will solve this.
No idea about the CPU time, check 0.77 when it comes out.

Works like a charm.  Both GPUs are reporting correct temps

The debts are 0 as Collatz is the only GPU project running on that machine.  The debts are also 0 for the GPU projects on my other machines that have MW set to project priority 333 and Collatz set to project priority 0.  Checkpoints do seem to be showing separately and correctly on the mixed GPU machine running Collatz.  Progress %, Elapsed Time and Time Left are all correct.  Only the ATI temp is incorrect.

I will build in some debug info in the next version, to check what is going on.

Use version 0.73:

Change the following file: C:\Program Files\eFMer\BoincTasks\log\log.xml
Set the ONLY the following to 1:
      <tthrottle_read>      1   </tthrottle_read>
      <temperature_gpu>   1   </temperature_gpu>

Select only the mixed NVIDIA / ATI computer in computers.
Exit BoincTasks and restart it.
Menu: Show->Log and check "debug"

Let it run a couple of seconds to get about 3 readings.

Remove the debug check and send me the log, lets see if that tells me something useful.

Sorry this took so long.  Used v0.73:

Also noticing that the new BT versions are using MUCH more CPU time than v0.73 (about 5x on my machines) and at the same time don't seem to update as well.

It's sorted exactly on hours only on my BT v0.72 also, 77 items in all.  Just checked, don't normally sort it that way though.  In the next version I think there's going to be an option to use hours only instead of days so that should solve the issue at least for those of us who prefer the hours listing to save column space

I wonder if it's is related to this problem:

http://www.efmer.eu/forum_tt/index.php?topic=512.0

Does the ATI temp get reported correctly in BoincTasks or does it show up as the same temp as one of the NVidia cards?

Puzzling, everything checks out ok.
Something else to check, it uses the same detector to see if the GPU is ATI.

Enable the debt column and see if you got the right debt for the ATI and the NVIDIA.
The debt should be the same as in the Project tab, select the same project and with the right mouse key select properties.

The debts are 0 as Collatz is the only GPU project running on that machine.  The debts are also 0 for the GPU projects on my other machines that have MW set to project priority 333 and Collatz set to project priority 0.  Checkpoints do seem to be showing separately and correctly on the mixed GPU machine running Collatz.  Progress %, Elapsed Time and Time Left are all correct.  Only the ATI temp is incorrect.

Another way may be to copy the lines from the history.

Looks like GT0 is the NVidia and GT1 the ATI on this system. 
And by <NV 1> and <NA 1> it looks like it's correctly passing the GPU identities.
But on BT both GPU temps report as 61.7.

Looks fine on the TThrottle side.
Go to Menu: Extra -> BoincTasks settings -> Tasks and remove the check at "Condense Use column"
What's in the Use column of the NVIDIA and ATA card. A screenshot maybe, because the text has to be pretty exact?
Another way may be to copy the lines from the history.

0.01 CPUs + 1.00 NVIDIA GPUs
0.02 CPUs + 1.00 ATI GPUs

There's no (device 0) or (device 1) on these.

Sorry, my typo.  I was using TT v2.10. Didn't work.  Upgraded to v2.10.1.  Still doesn't pass ATI temp to BT v.72.  Funny thing is BT has always picked up multiple ATI temps on machines with 2 ATI GPUs.  Just won't do it when an NVidia GPU is present.  TT reads and displays both temps properly on the local machine though.

Ok I need some more info.
Menu Show -> show log and select debug.
Need the line of the mixed computer.
The single line will do: The line starts with. Recieved from Server: <TThrottle><HN:computer_name
The name should match the mixed computer and I need the entire line up to the end.

Tried v.72 with much anticipation.  Still only passes the NVidia temp from TThrottle to BoincTasks.  TThrottle v2.001, BT v.72, Win7_64, BOINC v6.10.58.

You need TThrottle V 2.1 http://www.efmer.eu/boinc/download32_64.html
