Hi.

Boinc Manager 6.10.58 on WVista. I've noticed lately that new tasks, after downloaded, are not shown in the Tasks tab. It's when they are "almost-ready" to start, that they show up in that tab with 0%.

Don't know why this. Is this a new feature of this version?

Anyway, I can't tell how many new tasks do I have...! I have to check under "Messages", and take a manual count comparing with the Tasks tab....! Awful!

Regards,

Leo

Try clicking the new 'Show All Tasks' button.

Have a look at the buttons on the left under Tasks. There's a new one at the top which alternates between Show all tasks and Show active tasks.

This is for people with a huge number of tasks waiting, which doesn't give the manager time to refresh the list in the short time available.
So you can just display those currently being worked on.

Edit
Far too slow again. :)
