Just upgraded to 5.2.2. I believe there used to be an option to File\\Hide. Is this gone now (for good)? I do not see a Hide anymore. But if on Windows you click on the "X", (at least on mine) at the top rigt corner, the BOINC screen will close but the program will still run and analyze data.

They really ought to publicize these sorts of changes if they're going to do that! I vote we bring BACK the "file->Hide" menu option! I realize they're probably trying to keep the menu as "clean" as possible, but that's just silly! ID: 185435 ·

The icon in the system tray lets you see at a glance that BOINC is loaded and the rollover feature allows you to see the status of the current Wu. 98SE XP2500+ @ 2.1 GHz Boinc v5.8.8 And God said"Let there be light."But then the program crashed because he was trying to access the 'light' property of a NULL universe pointer.

If you're just shortlived, then don't blame the makers, blame your own shortcomings. :) ID: 187360 ·
