When I click properties in Boinc Manager 6.10.18 on a 15e & 16e task it says it has check pointed at 20 minutes but if I suspend and restart it goes back to the beginning but the time keeps counting up. I guess what I'm asking is why does BM say the task has check pointed but when the task is restarted it goes back to the beginning & is fix to this issue been worked on? If possible could a admin please put a space in the title between of & checkpoints? Thanks |

That is a cosmetic bug that I haven't gotten around to fixing. The checkpoint is happening, and it does restart from the checkpoint. You can verify this by suspending a calculation near the end, and on restart it will take little time to finish. However, because of the way checkpoints are implemented, the percent counter resets to zero rather than continuing from the actual percent completed. Because it is only cosmetic and doesn't affect the processing time nor the results, fixing it hasn't been a priority. Sorry for the confusion it causes. |
