I've been zipping from a fine Marramiero 1999, thus the johnny's and brews distortive effects on whatever cranial content is present, does not set in.
We discussed 2 progress bars......1 the overall, which like in UD agent page could do with a few decimals....2 the progress bar in the screen, that traces the blob/segment/chunk, like we have for HDC in green/blue/green/blue (for the daltonici). That segment cycling could do with a counter......as in how often did it return...and if there is a programmed limit, show that too.

There are several approaches to information disclosure, one of them is to be complete enough so the 'watchers' can understand whats going and make decision to end a WU to promote the reduction of those million and 2 posts.

Oh, and add a button for the biggest of violations....an 'abort' with double confirmation including a pop up text that explains valid reasons for an abort rather than people having to fumble the umpteen technical screens to see if the WU is catatonic or send the million and 3rd post.....but what am i going on about.....those functions are already build into that hidden BOINC intuitive text screens, we wish to hide from the graphics aficionados with that keystroke sequence Dagorath was going on about.

If not implemented, no tantrum, a missed opportunity.

Ad fundum.

PS what i see in this bar is not a 300 frames, but a 30000 frames refresh....of course, i've not been watching it every second, thus not determined if each point in the progress bar is supposed to represent a segment......could have guessed.

You should me see chuckle....... anyway the what's different in these pictures contest is, that a percent has appeared with too few decimals between Dagorath's and yours?

Blobs not synonymous to segments, there's some work left to get me happy, and that's not easy for a Royals watcher.

Hi Depreins,

Didactylos's pic beside my pic suggests there is more good stuff happening behind the scenes, stuff we are not fully aware of yet. I think when they finally roll out the finished product it's going to be very good. 3 decimal places huh? Visions of sugar plums and new counters FLOP in my head. Watch for reindeer on your roof

I was a couple driver updates behind, darn Hewlett Packard's auto updater hasn't been working. I don't know the following info is useful to you now but I have:

- SiS 760 integrated video
- current driver ver. 6.14.10.3720
- Win XP SP2 (32 bit)

Unfortunately I can't test the new driver because I can't pull a beta WU, I have a hunch it will work correctly so it's not a big deal for me, if you feel a need to test it then send me a WU manually or I can FTP or whatever, cue it manually and see if it looks like Did's

Yes, you can contact me at my preferred addy anytime on any matter you wish. I've just sent you email from that addy for your contact list. The addy in my sig is just a spam sewer so it's not recommended.

The previous driver was 6.14.10.3671. The version installed now is 6.14.10.3720, dated 1/9/2006.

On the decimal digits in the progress indicator, I think 3 is minimum for HPF2 units on slower machines. We will have that in the classic view when we need it. I think folks will want/need it so often they'll eventually just keep the clasic view open most of the time after the novelty of the graphics wears off. That suits my philosophy that the graphics are a waste of CPU power and should be turned off most of the time. So, yah, no more decimal places needed
