Interesting it took me a couple of hours to find the cause.

Wish List / Re: BoincTasks JS CPU% calcula...
Last post by fred - December 24, 2025, 08:50:23 AM
In BoincTasks Clasic The calculation is the same, but removing the check at CPU % Long time average.
The interval is much shorter.

What I will do is add and optional calculate the delta between two reads.
That way you see an immediate result

What I added >>>  Readings between two intervals.

       >>>         cpuTime = cpuTime - cpuTimeOld;
       >>>         elapsedTime = elapsedTime - elapsedTimeOld;

                let cpu = 0;
                if (cpuTime == 0 || elapsedTime == 0)
                {
                    resultItem.cpu = 0;
                }   
                else
                {             
                    cpu = (cpuTime/elapsedTime) * 100;
                    if (cpu > 100) cpu = 100;
                    resultItem.cpu = cpu;                 
                }

Old is the previous reading;

Wish List / BoincTasks JS CPU% calculation...
Last post by hucker - December 24, 2025, 02:04:39 AM
Hi Fred,
�I've noticed a difference in how BoincTasks JS calculates the CPU % column compared to the original desktop BoincTasks.
�In the original BoincTasks, the CPU % was calculated as (CPU Time / Wall Time). If I had an LHC Theory task assigned to 3 CPUs but it only utilized ~1.1 cores (as verified in Windows Task Manager), it would correctly show about 33-38%. 
�However, in BoincTasks JS, the column shows 100% regardless of actual internal VM utilization, as if it is reporting "Slot Reservation" rather than "Actual CPU Time Efficiency." Non-VM tasks (like MilkyWay) still seem to report correctly (~98%).
�Could you consider bringing back the (CPU Time / Wall Time) calculation for the CPU % column in the JS version? It helps me identify when a VM is being "sluggish" or under-utilizing its allocated cores, which is very helpful for system utilisation.
�Thanks for all your work on the JS version!

Wish List / Re: Can't abort many tasks.
Last post by hucker - December 23, 2025, 09:42:41 PM
I've recreated the problem on another computer.  This is a fresh install of Boinctasks JS from MS store.  In the screenshot I highlighted the bottom two rows and right clicked, then abort.  I got the resulting error.  It doesn't like aborting a collapsed set of tasks.  The original Boinctasks was ok with this.  It's referring to a filter, but I've set up no filters, that's just a bunch of tasks collapsed.

The errors are also logged to a file:

I you include a filter you might get that message.
What version are you using?

If this happens again go to Show -> Error log.

It might be that the tasks just got automatically deleted by the BOINC client because they were too old.

Wish List / Can't abort many tasks.
Last post by hucker - December 20, 2025, 11:35:39 AM
I wanted to abort many tasks on my computer in my holiday home before I left it for 3 weeks, so I selected all the tasks and right clicked and abort.  Then it says "you cannot delete a filter this way" - I wasn't trying to!

It only goes wrong if the selection includes a collapsed groups of tasks.

Then when I tried to expand more than one collapsed group, the screen goes blank and I have to restart boinctasks!

Quote from: hucker on December 19, 2025, 07:46:05 PMThe column order in tasks view cannot be set to show the project share/weight like I can in the non-js boinctasks.
I will take a look at that:
