BT 1.30

[fred]

is it needed something else??

->BoincTasks settings, project tab, press the ? button. That should explain everything.
In short, you should give a CPID in the expert tab.

I'll send you pm with splash-shot of the event ??

BT graph data freezes program when selected localhost, other computer the traffic is shown correctly.

I still see BT using almost 1 CPU (out of 4 on a Q6600/Win Vista) with BT 1.30. I have to assume that I am uniquely cursed because no one else has complained recently

BT 1.25 works just fine. BT 1.26 through BT 1.30 hogs the CPU. I'm guessing it's me (usually a good bet), but I can't figure out anything to do except go back to BT 1.25 which I've done. I've said all the magic words I know to make it work. Fred, can you give me a magic word or two to say?

BoincTasks settings->Expert  Check "Enable thread runtime graph"
Restart BoincTasks.

If it happens again, click on the button Thread Graph. Wait for about 10 minutes and see if the problem goes away.

The graph shows the main program use :  _BoincTasks and all the connection treads.
See if it happens in main or the connection threads.

OK, but this a bit arcane  My brain is frizzled for tonight. I'll try your magic words tomorrow.

I lied about "tomorrow"  Sorry about that.

After a week and several reboots I reinstalled BT 1.30 on the Q6600 and saw what I described before ~ 1 CPU (25%) used in task manager. The connection threads are essentially zero on the BT  thread graph when shown all together with the main task. The main BT task monotonically increased to 42 % (after 10 minutes and was still increasing) while displaying all tasks (270) for all computers (8 of them). When I minimized BT after 10 minutes the main BT task line monotonically decreased but the slope of the line is less than half of the slope of the increase. Task manger reports an immediate decrease to 2-4% upon minimization.

I kept BT minimized for 15 minutes. The main thread graph decayed to 8%. When I maximized the main thread started back up at the same rate as before. Viewing only the local host (1 computer) gave the same result.

I'm not sure what this means, but that's what it did 

Edit: I've been installing BT 1.30 over BT 1.25 without uninstalling BT 1.25. Would this make a difference?

Keep BT closed, if not needed.
It uses up less CPU time that way.
What you see is for one core. So 8% over say 4 cores is 2% or the CPU.
The decay time is about 10 minutes, so it will take a while for the graph to crawl back.

You can install a higher version over a lower version, no problems there.
Only from 1.30 back to 1.25 would be a problem.

Various BOINC-related tools (including BOINC Manager and BT's Task properties window) correctly show my (obviously incorrect and buggy) ibercivis sanidad_21-.... task being at 447.946% progress, later 460.945%, etc. but BT's Tasks tab displays it limited to 100.000% (BTW the task checkpoints correctly.)

I remember it has been displaying the true progress % in the past (and I've possibly reported this already). Could it be relaxed again? There is no point in artificially limiting it to "usual" 100.0% - the tasks' troubleshooting thus gets impossible. (The green progress bar should off course stay limited to 100%, except it would be user-configurable - it is an ugly, but perfect indication of a progress bug )

Add this to the config.xml file: (should be here: C:\Program Files\eFMer\BoincTasks\examples)

<config>
   <options>
      <no_cleanup>   1   </no_cleanup>
   </options>
</config>

...and I should have copied it from ...\BoincTasks\examples\ into ...\BoincTasks\ 

Works perfectly now (604.9275% - I can finally abort the example task), thanks.
What other workarounds and cleanups are influenced by this option? (OK, I've found the 'options block' description, in the config file. Will see...)

V7 Probably, the V7 code is still in a state of flux.
Is on my to do list.
