Hi!

First: If you don't know or understand what I mean, simply ignore this - this is nothing you should or must do.

Second: If you started thinking about this issue only as this thread has shown up - see First.

If you think there really is a need to overcome the standard BOINC client policy of crunching a task with the App it has been assigned to, please use the following procedure:

- stop the client
- remove the files of the "old" App the tasks were already assigned to
- copy the files of the new App, giving the copies the names of the old App files
- start the client again.

Please do not mess around e.g. with the client_state.xml file.

This will help us to keep an eye at the results that have been (exclusively) done with the new Apps.
