1) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINCManager 7.24.2 in Sonoma 14.2.1: BOINC is unhidden whenever I wake the Mac (Message 113434)

My Mac is set to "Require password after screen saver begins or display is turned off". Whenever I come back to the Mac and enter the password, I see BOINCManager's window. This is new behaviour and has never happened before. Previously BOINCManager's window always stayed hidden.

In BOINCManager, the Preferences panel's tab buttons don't fit the text as they always did before. I think the change came with macOS 10.14 Mojave.

Thank you - this has solved the problem for me. Now - how will I know when CPDN is safe to run on my Macs again?

That's the answer! editing the config file manually :-) The app names differ from their process names.

I'm running BOINC Manager 7.6.34 on an iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, Late 2015) on macOS Sierra 10.12.6. My projects (FWIW) are climateprediction.net, GPUGRID, MindModeling@Beta, RNA World, Rosetta@home and World Community Grid.

I have five exclusive applications set - Alchemy Viewer, FirestormOS-Releasex64, Nicecast, Second Life and Skype. Three of them - the three virtual-world viewers - don't make BOINC Manager pause. I have never edited or changed any of their names, and all their names show correctly in the Exclusive Applications window.

The other applications, Nicecast and Skype, make BOINC Manager pause as expected.

Any idea what this could be about?
6) Message boards : Questions and problems : Android app should offer choice of storage (Message 50016)

So the limitation is because BOINC tasks appear as executables? Perhaps it would be possible for the Android version of the BOINC app to store them in a modified form, so that they did not appear as executables.

I think many Android users, especially the more technically adept type of user who is interested in BOINC, will have very little space left on the internal chip and probably several GB on their SD card, so this will be a vital hack.

I'm just adding a comment to ensure the thread is working, because it's not appearing in the message list.

The Android app is working perfectly, but I can't load much work because it won't let me choose where to put my BOINC folder. My HTC One SV has three volumes: Internal storage (root), Phone storage (a 4GB store emulating an SD card), and a real SD socket. But BOINC has put everything in root. Can this be fixed?

PS this text I'm typing now appears huge on my Android device and has overrun the input box.
