Hi everyone. Those of you who have participated in the ECC2 or DistributedFolding projects are probably famililar with my GUIs. I have now created one for the MD5CRK project.

You can download it here:
http://gilchrist.ca/jeff/md5GUI/

This release should be used with v1.0.7 of the client or newer.

The GUI will allow you to easily install/remove the client as a service, even support for up to 4 services on an SMP machine.

The little graph on the "Advanced Tab" is a heart-beat monitor so you can see how your client is producing DPs. By default it graphs the # of DPs generated every 30 minutes, but that is configurable. The GUI will also now display what the estimated number of DPs per day your client will generate based on your average rate.

If you find any bugs or have any suggestions, please feel free to post here or email. Remember this is just the first release.


Whats New
- You should use client v1.0.7 or newer with this version of md5GUI

- Fixed bugs that prevented "Prepare Batch", "Send DPs", "Install Service", and "Remove Service" working properly.

- Re-arranged some items to correspond with new output from 1.0.7 client.

- Found and fixed some minor bugs.

- Added estimated time to complete batch which uses the average client rate and average DP distance of 2^32 to calculate. The idea for this was taken from Darkness Production's multiple monitor client: http://stats.dp.cx/md5crk.html

- Added estimated number of DPs the client will generate per day to the advanced tab. This is also based on average client rate and average DP distance.

- Added link to MD5CRK stats page on Progress tab. You can add your web user ID to the Config tab and it will bring you directly to your individual stats page on the md5crk.com web site. Thanks to EvilRick for this suggestion.

- Added support for ability to install up to 4 service clients on one machine.

The "Web ID" on the Config tab is not saved in the md5gui.ini file.

If you reboot or close the gui, next time it restarts, the "Web ID" is set to "0".

Darn, thanks for pointing that out. I know that used to work so I must have updated the wrong set of source and the changes got lost. I will fix that for the next release, sorry.,

Jeff.
