Running BOINC 4.09 on Win2K Pro SP4. Applications are Seti and ClimatePrediction.

I have changed "Switch between applications" from 60 to 120 minutes, and "Leave applications in memory" from yes to no.
I then used Update on the application within the BOINC client to change preferences immediately. The message log shows that this happened. And the message log also shows that the two applications are still switching every hour, not every two hours. But they are now being removed from memory when they weren't before.
So one change was applied and the other was ignored.

The changes were applied to the Seti site and I immediately did the Update on the Seti app. Then I found the Seti scheduler didn't respond, so I made the same two changes to the ClimatePrediction site and did an Update on that app. The Seti site updated the preferences, followed by the ClimatePrediction site.

Any comments?
