Wish List / BoincTasks JS CPU% calculation...
Last post by hucker - December 24, 2025, 02:04:39 AMHi 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 PMI'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.

Last post by fred - December 22, 2025, 01:36:42 PMI 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 AMI 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!

Last post by fred - December 08, 2025, 08:30:45 AMQuote from: hucker on December 07, 2025, 09:59:00 AMSo V2.00 beta TBA is just bug fixes? I'll try js version sometime....There is no V2.00 planned.
The problem is boinctasks not being usable because one of the computers isn't responding.
One option is to place all the computers in a group, except for the problematic computer.
That way you can see all computers and look at the problematic computer once in a while.
The problem is a slow computer, but it stays connected. The real solution is fix the problem with the old computer.

The problem is boinctasks not being usable because one of the computers isn't responding. Boinc client is a buggy piece of crap and takes several seconds even on a fast machine to decide which project to contact next. On an old machine it can be 30 seconds or more. During this time the boinc client on that machine cannot be interfaced with by me, or by boinctasks. If any of the computers are in the middle of this, I can't use boinctasks. Boinctasks needs to display whatever computers it has information for and not make me wait. Just show the last available data for every machine until you receive new data.

Last post by fred - December 06, 2025, 06:35:16 PMIf the connection is stable you can go to the Setting->Expert tab and set the connection timeout to 2.
That said the OS may not always work as expected.
Most of the new work is on the JS version that is much easier to maintain.
There is no new release of BoincTasks in the pipeline, maybe some bug fixes.
