BT 0.84

Just tried this on 0.84 and it aborts properly for me.  Doesn't always show the aborted WU in History however.

It may just as well be a BOINC bug. If it's reproducible I will give it a try.
When a WU is gone within the scanning period it may not be noticed.

when a tasks is suspended and you abort it, status still says suspended.

Interesting, on the bug list.

Possibly if the task was not running yet?

The problem is not with the abort but rather with the status that BT is showing.

In recent BT versions, History doesn't update in real time. Give it a minute, for sure it will show up there.

Computer name sorting is incorrect.

If you have numbers in name, "10" is sorted as after "1".

eg
(computers tab):
1-pc
10-pc
2-pc
3-pc
4-pc

(sidebar computer selection):
10-pc
1-pc
2-pc
3-pc


Can it be sorted like "10" is after "9" and so on?

The sort should be a string sort.  Attempting to find the numbers and sort on that is going to be problematic.

If you want it to sort correctly, try naming the computers:

01-pc
02-pc
...
10-pc

What is the purpose of the Task "Count" in the Projects Tab?

For example, Milkyway is listed in three places under the "Tasks Tab" as ..
Ready to report: 0.05c + 1ATI ..and..
Running: 0.05c + 1ATI ..and..
20[Tasks]: Ready to start

however, under the "Projects Tab" I see only
Tasks:  0/21

It should be 0/22 or better yet:  1/21
or even better to show all 4 possible states
(done/waiting/running/ready) : 1/0/1/20

The tasks counts are either  0/n or they are n/0 (or 0/0)  ie: the zero is either before or after the non-zero number and a tool tip for the Tasks column header to explain the difference would be nice.

Thanks for looking!

It's identical to the data in the computer gadget. The count is the work to do.
But it can take up to 2 minutes for the data to be entirely accurate.
It's intended for large amounts of WU's, to get an impression, of how much work there is on a computer.
In your case it should read 1/20.
It takes a lot of resources especially on computers in the 1000+ range to get a read time reading. It will slow down things noticeable.
