After displaying only F@H Proj nil on a first day, correct data was displayed the day after this was observed, as discussed in Issue #5. The reason for this behavior should be determined and any confusion in this regard mitigated.

The working hypothesis is that this is due to the lack of a project available for folding, but verification is required.

If the hypothesis is verified, then the script should be modified to provide a more informative display in this situation. If it is found to be invalid, more consideration will be needed to determine a possible cause.

Hi, I really want to use this script in my conky.

I am pretty sure I have it setup correctly, and I am calling it per the readme in my conky.

However, I get an error on line 249 running it in the terminal saying "attempt to reference a nil value" and subsequently the script only outputs FAH_proj nil and does not display the project number or completion status.

Does this script require Fahcontrol to be running? Because it doesn't work on Linux Mint 21, I think because there's no support for GTK 2 anymore.

Thanks for any help.

Status information for multiple slots is displayed in random order determined when Conky loads the queue information. It should be ordered by Work Queue ID so it coincides with the order displayed in FAHControl.

With less slots running than the number of items in the Work Queue, items with status 'Ready' (i.e. not currently 'Running') may be shown when Conky is configured to display the lowest indexed items.

Formatted status information for a given value (e.g. eta) could be improved by providing it with a constant width regardless of the number of digits or characters to be displayed. This would facilitate columnar display of info from multiple slots without need for tabs when using a monospace font in Conky.

When running a single slot, the work queue id may change after a work unit is completed, requiring the conky objects referring to the work unit to be manually edited so as to display the currently running work queue information.
