Wish List / Re: Remember dialog box positi...
Last post by hucker - March 15, 2025, 05:21:54 AMJust tested, and it does remember if I go back to the same dialog immediately. Not if it's been a day. I guess in that time Boinctasks has crashed (it does that a lot). Boinctasks needs to write the position now, not wait until just before exiting.
I'm on 21H2, only just noticed Windows has given up giving me updates because I refuse to buy a TPM on 10 machines just for them. I used Rufus to bypass on the original install. I can't be bothered going through it again. M$ can go intercourse itself. I gather Windows 12 will require an AI capable CPU! "Oh but doesn't everyone use a computer less than a year old?"

Wish List / Re: Remember dialog box positi...
Last post by Joseph Stateson - March 15, 2025, 04:24:54 AMThis must be a windows problem. I am running 24h2 and while the popups do go originally to monitor 1. If I move the popup to monitor 2 it remembers to pop up in monitor 2. I have to do this for every popup, but once it gets moved it remembers the same location even if BT is moved back to monitor 1. I only tested the boinctasks and boinc setting's popups. If you restart windows with the displays left on the screen then windows must do the restore. It would be convenient to have the popup always be on the same monitor.
I do remember back in win10 if my monitor 2 died there were some applications that were ghosted to monitor 2 and it was a real PITA to get them to move back to monitor 1. Currently with win11 when my monitor 2 dies (it has a problem) all the icons and apps move to monitor 1 but they will return once I unplug and plug the monitor back in. That did not happen in 10 and on occasion the ghosted apps remained ghosted even after the monitor was fixed. By "ghosted" I mean that you see the apps icon in the task bar of both monitors but the app does now show up anywhere when you click on its icon.
Windows 11 reboots roughly every 4 month if left to itself. I assume you are running 10.

Wish List / Re: Fix "exclusive application...
Last post by Joseph Stateson - March 15, 2025, 03:21:55 AM!!! Yea I missed that. it is actually a BOINC type setting. I was looking in boinctasks.
I appears to work exactly the same way as the BOINC Manager's "Exclusive Applications" which I never use. I had only one application that needed exclusive use of the GPU: "DVDFab" which converted bluray disks to MP4. With redbox and netflix no longer in the rental business I rarely use that app.

Last post by hucker - March 15, 2025, 01:38:03 AMIf possible can you make it remember just by finishing with the dialog box? I have it running all the time, so probably the next time Boinctasks is closed will be a crash of Boinctasks (I see it silently restart sometimes), or me using windows shutdown or restart command, but the computer tends to run for about 6-9 months between restarts.

Last post by hucker - March 15, 2025, 01:35:46 AMHow do I use it? There are three blank fields with no description. I'm expecting to enter one piece of info, the exe name.

Wish List / Re: BOINC's project list often...
Last post by fred - March 15, 2025, 12:33:12 AMWith some projects it's a mess.
BOINC should be able to handle this, I think this is a BOINC problem.
Or the project that uses the wrong URL.
The all_projects_list.xml isn't accesible.
The only option you have is to remove the projects and add the projects to all computers at once.

Last post by fred - March 15, 2025, 12:18:42 AMThe locations should be stored, but ONLY if you exit BoincTasks, so you have to do this once.
Hitting the power button to close the system, may bypass storing things.

Last post by Joseph Stateson - March 13, 2025, 03:19:21 PMQuote from: hucker on March 12, 2025, 10:59:14 PMI attempted to put in an exclusive application for a remote computer using Boinctasks. Firstly, what on earth are the three fields for? There is only one piece of information Boinc needs - the name of the executable. Secondly, when I browse for the file, it uses the folders on my local machine, not the remote one. Thirdly, it didn't save it (this may be because I don't know which field to put what in, they're not labelled!)
I cannot find that option the way you are describing. I looked at both windows versions of BT (the .js and the .exe)
I have been using the cc_config.xml editor in the .exe version to add (for example)
Code Select
<options>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
<exclusive_gpu_app>DVDFab.exe</exclusive_gpu_app>
<allow_remote_gui_rpc>1</allow_remote_gui_rpc>
</options>I am running older versions of boinc and just a few days ago looked at boinctasks.js for the first time. I have only windows system to run boinctasks on so I might be overlooking where those options are.
