Grumpy Swede,
I just made another device quota change for MCM1 on one of my profiles and yes, it told me my general preferences have changed. As far as I understand "general preferences" they haven't, but if a server sees all project/application changes as general preferences changes as well, there's not a lot I can do about it :-) -- I guess it's a feature of the way WCG passes the changes from server to server... (For completeness, I just did an equivalent quota change at MilkyWay and that didn't tell me that general preferences have changed...) You are right about it being nice to know, but I'd settle for not having extra stuff in the BOINC log[*1] :-) -- after all, I can tell if my quota changes have taken effect by counting the tasks I receive! Cheers - Al. *1 -- I have a patched 7.24.1 client to avoid issues with log spam if I use named profiles (written up elsewhere...); if I didn't have that, most of my log would be false notifications of change (with no time stamp)... |

Once again, the changed/updated device profile settings isn't propagated to the Boinc client. Old problem that comes back from time to time, and especially after a server crash or outage
I'll report it again to the team, on the contact page. |

The problem with not propagating device profile settings to the BOINC client, is fixed. Thank you WCG team
