BT 0.95

[jjwhalen]

After update to 0.95, all previous History entries were erased.  Newly completed tasks are displayed correctly.  Was this behavior expected

[jjwhalen]

Perhaps related to glenaxl's 0.93 issue:

Beginning with the Selection bar, Operation toolbar & "new" Graphic toolbar all on a single line, in that order, perform a normal shutdown (Exit) of BT.  On restarting, the Graphic toolbar has moved to a new line

Not the end of the world, but mildly annoying.

It appears that new History entries are also being erased after a normal shutdown/restart.  This would make 0.95 Dead On Arrival.

Transfer Tab, Numbers in Progress bar, size, elapsed, speed too aligned left instead of aligned to centre or right.

same in messages tab with number and time.

I reverted to V 0.94 as the latest Beta version.
Tomorrow will tell what went wrong with the history, it seems to be erased at startup. As no changes where made in this part...
So V 0.96 will probably be out soon with a fix.

The graphic toolbar is larger as it was, so it may give a problem in some cases. But that should only be once.

I tried it multiple times (before reverting to 0.94) and Graphic dropped down every time after shutdown/restart.  Even with all 3 toolbars on the same line, there is still approx. 7 cm of "empty" space on the line (on my 16:9 display) with BT in fullscreen.  That is unless there is an invisible barrier on this line that the longer toolbar is crossing.

I know I tested this several times in v0.93, trying to reproduce glenaxl's symptom, both using polite shutdown and killing the .exe, and couldn't make any toolbar jump to a new line.

Anyway as I said, not the end of the world

Is this possibly something to do with

Changed: History, Transfers, Messages: Allow column header dragging.

Just a thought

Yep but it's almost worth it to have the column header dragging

There seems to be a problem 095 ignoring the application switch parameter which I have set at 60  minutes.  Notice the timing on the message queue between the two applications.

I believe that would be nothing to do with BoincTasks...a problem with application switching would have to be in the BOINC client itself.  Also please note that v0.95 has been withdrawn; you should revert to 0.94

Best wishes.

Try moving all bars around a bit an place them on the right location again.
I can't reproduce it.

I already tried that before I reported it originally.  Note that the symptom only occurs if the Graphic toolbar is placed third (from the left).  If the order is changed to e.g., Selection|Graphic|Operation everything stays in place.  (Which of course is a workaround for the problem )

Behavior is the same in v0.96.  I also installed 0.96 on 2 remote machines with same results.
