@ Ageless: Thanks a lot for still putting effort into the BOINC community. It would by far not be what it is without you. Thanks m8!

Even though I am a C64 fan? ;-)

You see, there is absolutely no point in having a go on me.

Your original proposal was on the 12th of October. I emailed the developers about it on the 13th. You then did a bump of your proposal on the 11th of November, making it seem as if your proposal had more merit than anyone else's in the Wish List thread.
And then you went on about it on the 18th of November, a second bump if you will.

The developers don't read these forums, not even the threads they started themselves (*), perhaps only when someone posts a big bug and it's been pointed out to them. I already forwarded your request to them, there's really no need to continue to bump your proposal until you've got a mention of it in all the threads that are open.

In your last bump in this thread you wrote how you were thinking about becoming an Alpha tester, and the only thing I added to that was that you can then request stuff like that through the Alpha email list, and bump it there if you feel like it's needed to be bumped. The Alpha email list is read by the developers.

(*) One exception to that rule: Charlie does react to threads about Mac problems.

One thing though: The handling of the entries in the GUI list could really be better, this wasn't implemented in this release, so I am hoping for the next one.

Just because you asked for a feature request a month ago, that doesn't mean it'll get implemented immediately. Not only do GUI changes have to be compatible across the main platforms (do the same thing without special compiling requirements on Windows, Linux and Mac OSX), they also need rigorous testing, something not done in just a month.

Hi!

What I would really like to see because it would be a great ease:
If you double-click on a task, the "properties" windows for that task opens.

Until now it's: Click on task -> click on properties -> properties window
opens. If you want to check on more than a few tasks, this procedure is quite annoying.

Thanks.

I've absent-mindedly double-clicked on a task before now, expecting that would be the natural thing to happen - and been mildly irritated when it didn't.

Howdy Folks,

I plan on releasing BOINC 7.2.26 as the next public release on Monday.

Please speak up if you have found a showstopper or log any remaining test results you might have queued up.

Thanks in advance.
