Change location of settings folder for boinctasks
« on: June 16, 2012, 07:40:10 PM »
Recently I have to reinstall OS and observed that I have to manualy back up and restore settings,rules,history etc. Shall appreciate if an option can be there to point towards folder containing them like data folder for boinc client etc. Many people use boinc data folder on location other than OS drive. ;D

I will add a text to the check, like:  "Override default (xml) Folder: C:\Users\fred\AppData\Roaming\eFMer\BoincTasks"
