However, it seems that I didn't look closely enough. During the task, the progress bar might suddenly jump to a 100% and stay there for several seconds up to a few minutes and then usually reverts back to the normal progress. This can happen several times per task but now with this behavior, the progress bar issue seems somewhat alleviated. Any way to bring the progress bar behavior all the way back to its normal behavior? Thx anyway in the meantime for the current solution.

Just found about the reported issue on the WUprop forum as well. Did work for me smoothly as well to just exchange the ca-bundle certificates! Thx

Same on my end. I am on Win10 if that helps.

Just wanted to report that I do still experience this issue with the latest Windows app.

Is this solution you are talking about already implemented in the latest app version or do I need to act on the client side? I do still have this issue on my Win10 host regularly.

Thanks for the update! Will you open a test channel to allow beta testing as a separate app here on Sidock@H or will you run tests exclusively internally?

When will this issue be addressed? The pb is pointless if it is stuck at 100% for the majority of its runtime. If the bug pointed out below will already solve this issue, could you please implement it? Thanks

Just wanted to check on the development progress of the GPU client. As Scripps which is the institute that developed the GPU client of AutoDock also took several months, I was wondering if you are making good progress with the development effort of your docking software. Looking forward to your feedback

That is great news! Glad you made that decision. Looking forward to contribute long-term to new research goals and diseases.

I agree that small changes to the code of an application (progress bar, checkpoint) although implementation was not trivial shouldn't call for new applications. I'd much rather see you introduce new versions of the same app as long as you don't change much of the internal code logic. Additionally, very long application names are very confusing and hard to retrace.

Why not simply have CurieMarieDock 1.01 / CurieMarieDock 1.02 etc and CurieMarieDock 2.0 for major updates.

CurieMarieDock on BOINC --> CurieMarieDock on BOINC + zipped input --> CurieMarieDock on BOINC + zipped input, checkpoints and progress bar vs.
CurieMarieDock 1.0 --> CurieMarieDock 1.1 --> CurieMarieDock 2.0

You can always convey the changes within each application version within the application release notes in the news section.

Especially confusing otherwise as you as a project won't roll out WUs from older applications as you mean to fully transition to the latest app. Old/Retired apps will only clutter the applications page.
Furthermore, runtime tracking via WUProp will be distrorted highly if you keep introducing new apps for each "minor" update instead of just iterating the internal development version number of the apps.

And regarding the rollout of new apps. Why not set up a "Beta" app which can then be used as a main test channel before introducing a new app. (Beta CurieMarieDock). Might have caught various glitches beforehand, such as the non-working progress bar in the new app "CurieMarieDock on BOINC + zipped input, checkpoints and progress bar".

Just a few ideas.

I second that thought. Might be wise to hold back on this plan for the while being. But just a litlle longer or else I fear that you might lose volunteers with powerful systems who understandibly get angry with you about loads of kWh being potentially lost.

Approaching the BOINC Pentalon, I am curious as to where you stand on checkpointing. What is the issue holding you up atm to implement this feature?

Why are there several photo .png files of cities downloaded via the client in SiDock's project directory?

Names of these files are f.ex. Dubai, Hong-Kong, Abu-Dhabi.... What purpose do they serve if at all?

Awesome! Great progress so far.

By the way, do you plan to keep the project after the finish of the ongoing covid-related research and extend the scope of this project beyond the current research focus?

Unfortunately the MacOS terminal (zsh shell) still outputs yet another invalid error --> invalid option or syntax: -p
Seeing the pid-option from the prior output, I tried top -n 1 -pid <PID of a rbdock process> and it gave back the following.

On Mac it seems that the top command does not support/have batch mode as the -b option does not exist.

Hey hoarfrost! Thanks for getting back to me. I looked up the corresponding process ID via activity manager of one of the rbdock processes currently running. I typed in ~ user$ top -b -n 1 -p 94626 (user is just anonymised here)
and the output was the following.
_____________

top usage: top

[-F | -f]
[-h]
[-i <interval>]
[-l <samples>]

[-s <delay>]

Am I typing in the command correctly by just inserting the process ID number into the placeholder as shown above? It seems that the command is not accepting the options that are chosen here. Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong or could try instead? Thanks!
