BoincTasks in Linux Mint

[Gandalf]

I installed into Linux Mint OK.  In trying to move the columns under Tasks the column headings move, but the column stays put.
Is this an oops or do I have to set an option in the program?

Thanks

I installed into Linux Mint OK.  In trying to move the columns under Tasks the column headings move, but the column stays put.

If the headers move the contents should change accordingly.
You can try exiting Boinctasks and starting it again. It may be an refresh thing.
Clicking another tab may do the trick as well.

Run RegEdit.

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\eFMer\BoincTasks

Right click on column and choose export.

column holds the header order for all tabs.

On the Linux machine start RegEdit if its' implemented.
And choose File->Import

I followed your regedit instructions as best as I could.  I created a HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\eFMer\BoincTasks] file./
The following is the the data contained in that part to the registry...

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\eFMer\BoincTasks]


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\eFMer\BoincTasks\column]
"computer_j"=dword:000000c9
"projects_a"=dword:000000b9
"projects_j"=dword:00000079
"task_status_sort"=""
"tasks_b"=dword:00000150
"tasks_c"=dword:00000143
"tasks_d"=dword:00000095
"tasks_e"=dword:0000005a
"tasks_h"=dword:000000aa
"tasks_i"=dword:0000009e
"tasks_j"=dword:0000007b
"tasks_m"=dword:00000064

Where do we go from here?  I tried your moving of the column header, then restart the program.
The result was the column did not follow the header, but the header returned to its initials position.

You should not create [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\eFMer\BoincTasks] if it isn't there something is wrong.
You should only import the column items.

[Gandalf]

The registry printout was from the Registry in the PC.

You should only import the column items.

I do not understand what importing the column items means.
Please specify.  Remember, I'm not as smart as you guys.

Thanks

OK

1) You said "I created" where did you create it.
2) Is  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\eFMer\BoincTasks] on the linux machine?
3) Importing means reading back the info you stored by using export.
Import is in File->Import.  Export is in right click on the column item and select export.

So export on the Win machine and use import on the Linux machine.

1) You said "I created" where did you create it.

I created a file from the registry data and posted it into this thread.

2) Is  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\eFMer\BoincTasks] on the linux machine?

Yes, via the WINE function.  From the Terminal, I entered regedit
From regedit, I when to the location you called for BoincTasks
By right clicking on the BoincTasks, I accessed the Export ... and placed the file on my Desktop for easy access.
That is where I got the data from that I entered into the post.  I couldn't find a way to upload the file itself.
It didn't occur to me to search for other entries for this kind of data.
I just checked and there is a second listing for BoincTasks.
I have no way of knowing if the two listings are identical or even if they are meant to be identical.
I was working with HEY_CURRENT_USER.  The second listing is under HKEY_USERS.
I hope you are understand what I am typing, because I am starting to confuse myself.

3) Importing means reading back the info you stored by using export.
Import is in File->Import.  Export is in right click on the column item and select export.

FYI - The first item on the Menu reads Registry, not File. (Linux)
That, I think, had me confused.

So you want me to read back in (Import) the data created from Exporting the data.  Yes?
So, after exporting the data from the BoincTasks point, I should click on the Menu item Registry and Import Registry file... that was just saved to the Desktop.
Correct?

I think, I need a drink.

I think, I need a drink.   

It's easy if you done it.

To be sure only export the column data, by right click on column.

That should work at least if the regedit in Linux works as it should.
