I made a nice alternative for the BOINC manager.

For the local machine or for your remote computers.

You're statically linking to the LGPL-licensed GUI RPC libraries from BOINC.

If you do that, you must provide either source code for your app, or the object files (.obj). I should be able to modify the BOINC code, and relink your app with my modified version of the BOINC code.

Your other option is dynamically linking instead (making a boincguirpc.dll or something like that). Then I could just put a modified version of the DLL in place without having to link anything.

In your license, you claim the BOINC libraries are GPL-licensed. That's incorrect (they're LGPL), but if it was actually GPL, you would be under a bigger problem (you wouldn't be able to link your closed-source program to that code at all).

As nice as your TThrottle, Fred.

One thing that jumped on me. Hovering fields where the long names end in ... Can we have balloon pop ups plz.

There's 1 science that lists the wrong Application name. Maybe because of a Beta that was converted to a production application with the same version number. Both are listed in the client_state.xml and show in the projects folder. Not sure if that will self correct come time these jobs get their turn to crunch.

edit: Bug, though selecting a task and changing the status from Ready to Start to Suspended, the BT continues to list them as Ready To Start. In BM they show as correctly having been changed status to "Task Suspended by User".

Regrettably no, the Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy - Phase 2 6.14 as it shows in BOINC manager is listed in BT both for active and the contracted Ready to Start as 6.14 Beta Testing - Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy - Phase 2

Client is the alpha 6.10.13, 32 bit.

Ok I see what's the problem, I make a setting in case this happens.
I was already afraid that someone would give two different tasks the same version number.

considering the WCG application numbering logic and them running 9 projects in parallel, you'll see allot more of this. Quick check the Linux HCC and HPF2 sciences both go by version number 6.03

Great, you fixed this and also fixed the "ready to start" state. Results now show as suspend when they were.

There's a new bug, or at least not noticed this before. Remote client v. 6.2.28 exclusively running WCG's Help Fight Childhood Cancer version 6.10. Those running in this duo show the right version number, those ready to start show 0 as version.

Sorry, should have said that since I checked it before writing in. Yes, both.

Yes, only the version number is wrong.

Here's something I'm not so happy about v.v. all the versions, not just 0.22 or 0.23 beta. Though I've got a daily scheduled preference to not connect to projects to report/fetch work but for 15 minutes daily, just before 00:00 UTC, BT seems to push a 2 hourly connect to all projects, regardless if project is suspended, not allowed to fetch work or otherwise. If I exit BT it does not do so. Idea why?

Here a piece of log whilst I had my eyes thoroughly shut and seen on all clients, local and remote at the same time intervals:

The BT preference screen do not indicate anything of a scheduled contact nature.

thanks

Sorry, see no log entry, nor a field which can be set to blank or zero. Is that in cc_config.xml or global_prefs/global_prefs_override.xml where that field is stored? I'd think the clients should abide by the scheduling set i.e I've got it as daily "01:45 to 02:00" CET and "Network Activity Based on Preferences", i.e. unclear why BT is signalling as is someone is pushing the update button in the project view of BOINC Manager, negating the scheduled connects.

The "additional buffer" field I see in 0.22 and 0.23 as greyed out.

Maybe another bug. I've noticed a few times that the BM preference interface is showing the website device prefs for the daily scheduled connects as they were originally and not the local overrides. I've put them back again. The fact that all clients, local and remote are doing this in perfect sync suggests BT is forcing this.

Feature request: Could you also add a filter to summarize the "uploading"

Thanks for this great tool, promising to become a wonderful replacement of BOINCView.

edit: re note Richard in next post, silly me, now see that field where when first starting to use BT must have entered some values. Set to zero. Thanks.
