I think we should show a project (and let the user attach to it) even if the project doesn't support the computer's platform (e.g. the user might be planning to use anonymous platform). But we should tell the user what's going on, e.g.
"This project has no apps for your type of computer." or "This project has apps for your computer, but only if you remove <no_alt_platform> from your configuration." -- David On 18-Jul-2013 5:12 PM, Jon Sonntag wrote:
That would be simpler than adding every type of coprocessor or platform as the list continues to grow. Would it also take into account the "no alt platform" setting so that if a 64-bit user wants only 64-bit apps and the project doesn't have them that it wouldn't show that it has apps that will run on this client? Would the project list be filtered so that the projects that won't run at all on the client (e.g. WEP if running Windows) wouldn't even be listed if neither the CPU or GPU apps were compatible? Or maybe have that as an option in the preferences. In other words, don't taunt people by showing projects they can't use. That, or add a warning when they try and connect that says [in a bad French accent] "Now go away or I shall have to taunt you a second time!" ;-) Jon Sonntag On Thu, Jul 18, 2013 at 6:57 PM, David Anderson <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I'd also like to change things so that the add-project dialog shows: 1) whether this project has apps that will run on this client 2) whether this project has apps that will use this client's GPU(s) ... rather than listing all the platforms and GPUs that the project supports. -- David On 18-Jul-2013 6:55 AM, Heinz-Bernd Eggenstein wrote: Dear all, In the projects list displayed when choosing a project to attach to, would it be possible to have an icon displayed for "project supports Intel-GPUs" (like the ones for ATI/AMD and NVIDIA GPU support in ..../clientgui/res/templates ) ?
