Manager menu reorganization
The Manager's menus (as of 7.4) are kind of clunky.
Here's one proposal (David's?) for reorganizing them:
- File
- Close Window
- Exit BOINC Manager
- Select Computer
- Shut down connected client
- New Window (launch another Manager)
- View
- Notices
- ...
- Disk usage
- Simple View
- Event Log
- Activity
- (no change)
- Options
- Add project
- Use account manager
- Manager options
- Event log options
- Select display columns
- Computing preferences
- Exclusive applications
- Read config files
- Tools
- Run CPU benchmarks
- Retry network communication
- Help
- (no change)
Here's another proposal from Jacob, which includes reorganization and subtle name changes:
