| 14 | | * Review Rom's BOINC Sentinels project |
| 15 | | - Prototype multi-threaded communication layer (client / Manager) |
| 16 | | _ ~ 7 times faster than current |
| 17 | | - Later this year or next year |
| 18 | | - gui_rpc_cient_ops.cpp, etc. |
| 19 | | |
| 20 | | * Write manager state info items (wxConfigBase stuff: Window size & position, locale) to |
| 21 | | Windows registry / Mac user preferences as soon as they are changed (needs flush on |
| 22 | | Windows, maybe on other platforms.) |
| 23 | | |
| 24 | | * Change tooltip for Clear button in Simple View Preferences to say something like: |
| 25 | | - "Clear all local preferences listed above to restore their web-based settings and close the dialog." |
| 26 | | |
| 27 | | * Create templates for Mac plist files. |
| 28 | | - modify !SetVersion utility to use these. |
| 29 | | - remove old plist files from GIT repository so they stop showing as uncommitted changes. |
| 30 | | |
| 31 | | * Update boinc_get_opencl_ids() API code |
| 32 | | - Special value for type arg to mean "any vendor" (return error on older clients which don't have aid.gpu_type in init_data.xml file.) |
| 33 | | - what should it do if type arg does not match aid.gpu_type from init_data.xml file? |
| 34 | | - compatibility with <coproc> option in cc_config.xml? |
| | 14 | * OpenCL support for CPUs |
| 45 | | * Improve handling of Max Disk Usage in Simple View Preferences |
| 46 | | - It has only the # GB Max disk space setting, but web prefs & Advanced prefs also have |
| 47 | | - Leave at least xx GB free disk space |
| 48 | | - Use at most xx% of total disk space |
| 49 | | - CLIENT_STATE::allowed_disk_usage(double boinc_total) uses the smallest of the 3 so the value shown in Simple Prefs may not be the one that is currently active. |
| 50 | | - DaveA wrote: "One option would be to clear the other two if the user sets prefs via |
| 51 | | the simple view dialog" but "clearing" disk_max_used_pct means setting it to 100%. |

| 59 | | * David's "fix" for client infinitely restarting task which has a boinc_finish file. |
| 60 | | - I suspect it occurred when I quit BOINC after SETI@home wrote the file but before it was recorded in client_state.xml file. |
| 61 | | - It appears to have worked fine until David added code to kill any task with a boinc_finished file. |
| 62 | | - This "fix" aborts the task instead of killing it, giving a computation error even though it really completed successfully; I feel this is wrong (but a rare case.) |
| 63 | | - My comments: |
| 64 | | - any task with boinc_finished file in slot directory should be excluded from the active tasks list, its progress set to 100%, and recorded in client state file. |
| 65 | | - only needs to be done at BOINC initialization (i.e., when the client is launched.) |
| 66 | | |
| 67 | | * OpenCL support for CPUs |
| 68 | | |
| 69 | | * Review and update Mac installer !ReadMe. |
| 70 | | |
| 71 | | * David's partial "fix" for Windows installer overwriting all_projects_list.xml which |
| 72 | | may be older than the one already present. |
| 73 | | - his "fix" downloads a new copy immediately if new version # > old version number, but |
| 74 | | - this does not work for reinstall over same version (can Windows installer do this, or just repair?) |
| 75 | | - Could be OK if we added "don't overwrite if file already exists". |
| 76 | | - This defeats Rom's original purpose in overwriting the file which was to replace a corrupted file on server. (OK if file on server has been fixed, though.) |
| | 39 | * Review and update Mac installer !ReadMe. |
| | 47 | === To be discussed === |

| 85 | | - See email from David "!Settings/Options in the BOINC manager" August 24, 2011 9:26:12 AM PDT |
| 86 | | - Separate dialog for editing Exclusive Apps (not part of Advanced Prefs.) |
| 87 | | - Also Exclusive GPU apps. |
| 88 | | - Ideally, just modify that portion of the cc_config.xml file, retaining formatting. |
| 89 | | - Or separate clear button for each tab in Computing Preferences. |
| 90 | | - Clearly identify which settings are from web-based (global) prefs and which are local. |

| 93 | | - Clarify confusing settings in Computing Preferences: |
| 94 | | - Idle time value applies to "in use" memory settings, even if "Computing allowed while computer is in use" is true. |
| 95 | | - meaning of zero in idle time setting. |
| 96 | | - (low priority) have the Edit Preferences dialog display and enforce the various upper/lower bounds. The bounds are given in html/inc/prefs.inc. |
| 97 | | - Put these bounds in a .h file. have the client enforce the bounds when handling the set-prefs RPC. |
