In cc_config.xml I have DFDFab.exe defined as an exclusive app. This program does not show up in the BM dialog box for BOINC-Preferences. However, I must enable "Use GPU based on preferences" before BOINC stops using my GPUs.

Suggestion: If cc_config.xml has an exclusive app defined, then it should be honored even if boinc preferences allow GPU to run all the time.

The following image shows two programs: Boinctask and Boinc 7.0.18. Boinctasks shows that DFDFab.exe is an exclusive app for jstateson-pc-7 but the boinc program shows no such application.

And confuse all those people with the little line there that says: "Suspend processor and network usage when these applications are running" ?? ;-)

However, I agree that the program should show in the exceptions list. Not sure though if only CPU exceptions show here, or also GPU exceptions. You may want to email the alpha list about that.
