Any way to force NOT reporting results immediately?

Most projects default to not reporting immediately. And you can tell Boinc to do so if you wish in either cc or app config files, for everything or just one project. But Primegrid defaults to reporting immediately and I can't see where this setting is. I have no app config for Primegrid, and the setting for app config seems to be nothing or yes, not a no. | |

Although I'm not certain this will work, could you try putting in your app_config.xml
<report_results_immediately>0</report_results_immediately> instead of <report_results_immediately/> | |

Why would one want to defer the reporting of completed PrimeGrid tasks?
(Maybe, during a challenge, to trick competitors within the challenge into thinking that there is no need for them to add more computers to PrimeGrid in order to be sure they are not going to be overtaken by you before the end of the challenge? "Bunkering"?)

/JeppeSN Because I have 7 computers and 2 mobiles showing on the one Boinctasks window, and it's nice to see what's been recently completed before they disappear.

That's what BOINCTasks history tab is for. Also, that's what the website is for.
Even if that feature is disabled, with short tasks, things get reported back to the server almost immediately anyway because the client is constantly asking for more work.

Testing failed, it was reported within several seconds. | |

But I have the display of running tasks up on another monitor all the time. I like to see what's finished on there, not have to look somewhere else. All the other projects respect my wishes!
And my PCs are not constantly asking for more work, as I have a 0+3 hour buffer, for two reasons: the 0 means I don't have piles of work queued up which would cause projects to get the results back later and make the screen untidy, and the 3 means it gets a handful at a time, not just one task which would increase server load. | |
