Thanks for the info on the purge button. I've seen it, but was worried it would clear out all the units, not just a select few. I saw the export button and assumed the idea was to export the data to excel then clear out the database for the next lot to arrive with the purge button. So out of cowardice I refrained from trying it!

I saw the export button and assumed the idea was to export the data to excel then clear out the database for the next lot to arrive with the purge button. So out of cowardice I refrained from trying it! Everything is cumulative, so there's no need to export. Someone requested it so they could do other calculations. The purge comes in handy when an update isn't run for a few days and there are stragglers that have rolled off of your results pages. Those won't ever change status, so I put that in to keep everything tidy. Also, most people don't care about old aborts or errors, so it helps to reduce the meaningless data. |

Actually a long standing bug I've never mentioned is, that the Ctrol-C to copy selected rows has never worked for me. Right click and copy through the menu does work, but there's a nasty bit about MS Office. It locks the clipboard and prevents to copy more than a few rows, else getting an "access denied to clipboard". This can take up to a minute of sandclock spinning before it pops-up. Cumbersome workaround is to unload MS Office, make the desired copy in WCGDAWS and then paste is over. MS and useless Bing have not revealed a fix, though they claim that disabling certain COM Add-ins to Excel and running it in Save mode should work, but it does not unfortunately. Ctrl-C has been fixed in 1.2d. There was also a problem with changing the color scheme that has been fixed.--//-- I tried copy/paste with both Excel and Word open and didn't have any problems. Let me know if the new version still results in the access denied error. |

Hi pirogue,
----------------------------------------Waited a few weeks using the 1.2d, but regrettable have to report that the problem persists, albeit somewhat less. Often first copying 1 line and then the desired section does work, and it continues to be only when any office app is loaded... denial to access the clipboard. When it does succeed when an office app is loaded, it can take some time before even the start bar will respond to appear or a alt-tab will work to switch application. Ctrl-C to copy not working at all btw and this being both on old and brandnew system makes it something in Windows (7?). Pasting is also very slow. To emphasize, when office is not loaded [there's some A small feature request: When there is no grant yet, could the PPH be shown as computed from the claim? Now that the servers control the claim, it varies per science as to what is deemed appropriate, different every minute of the day... it's not like always for device X, claimed PPH of Y. Gives a quicklook idea where things are heading. thx -- SekeRob edit: cant trust spellchecks either ;P [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Mar 18, 2012 5:08:16 PM] |

I have started using Piroque's program. It is a marvelous piece of work. I used to have to cut a paste stats into a spreadsheet, do some cumbersome conversions of time to get performance per machine. Now I don't anymore. Thank you for this fine piece of work.

Hi pirogue, I'll take another look at the office/copy/paste and see if I change anything.Waited a few weeks using the 1.2d, but regrettable have to report that the problem persists, albeit somewhat less.

For anyone that hasn't already figured it out, in order for the new CFSW project to show up like the others, you'll need to update the ProjectsList.txt file by:
----------------------------------------changing: 115>Computing for Sustainable Water> to 115>Computing for Sustainable Water>CFSW or adding: 115>Computing for Sustainable Water>CFSW If you don't make the change, you won't see the acronym when you group by project. |

pirogue,
Which file do we need to edit to let the new Pending Verification [replacing Inconclusive] show. The DB lists them as 99, which is Unknown and editing the status list to temp rename 99 continues to list them as Unknown in WCGDAWS. Probably a new build is needed since Inconclusive is listed in e.g. the Purge screen. thx --//-- |

The code (6) that is used remained the same. They only changed the description. You can change the description in StatusList.txt.
----------------------------------------Yours should look something like this: 0>In Progress You just need to change the description next to the 6>. After your next update, the displayed status should be updated. edit: P.S. I will need to do a new build for the purge screen. In the meantime, if you have any Pending Verification WUs you *really* want to purge, you can check the Inconclusive box. [Edit 2 times, last edit by pirogue at Jun 19, 2012 4:08:59 PM] |
