Hi,

This is a feature request, but maybe a bug?

I would like a feature to NOT download any new work when attaching a project. This looks tricky but hopefully a genius coder out there can make it a one-liner.

In the code client_state.h:
WORK_FETCH_DONT_NEED is defined as 0

...so a project will not get new work.

The constructor for class PROJECT in client_types.c sets:
work_request_urgency = WORK_FETCH_DONT_NEED;
dont_request_more_work = false;

However, the code when attaching a project requests 1 second of new work ALWAYS.

After the project's "communication deferred" expires, the "[state_debug] set dirty:" will cause the policy to revisit and (most likely) download work. At least that will give time to set no new tasks on the project. Downloading project files (graphics, readme, etc.) would be fine, just no new work!

Ideally, this would be a global preference or a flag in the cc_config.xml file.

I believe it's been requested before. It might already be entered into Trac. You can search there.

Register and you can enter an enhancement ticket. Link in my sig.
