Wish List / Fix "exclusive applications"

Last post by hucker - March 12, 2025, 10:59:14 PM

I 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!)

Wish List / Remember dialog box positions

Last post by hucker - March 12, 2025, 09:19:54 PM

Perhaps exacerbated by me having multiple monitors, Boinctasks doesn't remember where for example the boinc preferences dialog was last used.  In my case it's going to monitor 1 even though boinctasks is on another screen.  Please either make it remember the last position of the dialog, even remember globally for every dialog, or make it appear somewhere in the Boinctasks main window area, say the middle.

Wish List / BOINC's project list often has...

Last post by Joseph Stateson - March 08, 2025, 01:27:40 PM

BT uses the local PCs all_projects_list.xml when adding a project.

Would it be possible to optionally use the all_projects_list.xml that is on the PC running BoincTasks?  That way I only need to update one file instead of 12 or more files.

ideally, the project would notify BOINC admin of the URL change which could then be propagated to users.  I do not think they inform anyone other than popping up 100's of notices about the change to the user.

I was able to add the project by overriding the default URL


<project>
<name>GPUGrid.net</name>
<id>6</id>
<url>https://www.gpugrid.net/</url>
<web_url>https://www.gpugrid.net/</web_url>

It should have been

<project>
<name>GPUGrid.net</name>
<id>6</id>
<url>https://www.gpugrid.net/gpugrid/</url>
<web_url>https://www.gpugrid.net/</web_url>


It would be nice if BOINC could handle this problem but looking around it is evident that some projects do not bother to inform BOINC admin what they are changing.

Wish List / Re: Individual Tthrottling for...

Also, I used multiple GPU. Actually, it is a Quadro & Tesla from nVidia. So can we have individual GPU Tthrottling, as if some GPU is limited, same goes for the other one. This means that one card is producing max per given temp., while other works quite a bit cooler.

You should be able to assign different temps for the GPUs like 61;53;67;74

Independent GPU Throttling.

That said I've not tested it for a long long time.

Can we have individual Tthrottling for multiple CPU & multiple GPU on single system? 

For example, I use dual-CPU layout with various Dell or Lenovo workstations. But Tthrottling one CPU, also lowers the other one. So can we have that individually for such systems?

I think this would help us, when using multiple CPU & GPU for BOINC.

I added a couple of projects manually and now the Add projects button does not work on BoincTasks 1.85. I stopped and started again but still the same.

Try menu Help -> Update and click on Include Beta versions.
Now click on update 1.95 is Beta, but there are no problems with 1.95 and that's the version I need for testing.

Hi Fred,
Yesterday it was working, but today it is not, so maybe it is something about my PC. If there is anything I can look into, let me know.
Thanks, Art

Hi Fred,
The History report is now correctly showing the GPUGRID tasks when that Project is selected, so thanks for the fast work!
Regards, Art

Hi Art, I didn't do anything, but if it's working great.
