Critical Path not working #876

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I have been trying to get this chart working for a few days but even with 
strong or rubber links I cant get it to display the critical Path.
I have tried clicking display critical paths and then refreshing it but sadly 
it still doesnt want to work.

Im using GanttProject 2.6.4 Brno (build 1622
Windows 7

Thanks
Scott Wollstein

Thanks for reporting, I'll have a look.

I've looked very quickly and my impression is that it is working as intended. 
By definition, a task is critical if its float is zero (that it, it can't be 
delayed without increasing the whole project duration). In your project, even 
the task which is the last in the chain (task #172, "Tutorial day") has a 
single predecessor with 3 days lag, so the whole preceding chain can be delayed 
with no impact on the project end date. 

GanttProject highlights two summary tasks as critical: "BSBWHS501A – Ensure a 
Safe Workplace" and "Diploma of Management" -- they really have no float. 
Unfortunately the highlighting is barely visible (only endings of the task bar 
become red)
