Not sure where this fits, but I observed this when I joined RALPH@home.

The general preferences from RALPH@home were applied to all projects. My setting for connect to "network about every" got reset to 0.1 days (the default in RALPH) and my cache almost ran out of work as RALPH had no work available and the other projects drained the cache to get down to the 0.1 days setting. Also, but I am not 100% sure that my separate preferences for home vanished. I thought that my default location was set to home. Memory fades so I am not 100% sure but I thought I had a set of preferences for location home.

More a BOINC issue than a Rosetta issue but I thought it worth mentioning.

Anytime you edit General Prefs, the latest ones you edit get propagated to all projects. So, better to edit them on a project where they are close to how you like them already. Then, update from *that* project instead of from the new one (Ralph). Ralph started out with only the defaults and no separate venues, so if you edit those, they go everywhere.

OR, if you want instant gratification, create all the separate venues in Ralph, and copy the prefs from another project in yourself, then update from Ralph.

Oops, we both responded at the same time. Same idea.

Understood, but my other projects were assigned to a set of general preferences for home location and not the defaults. My general home location settings were erased on the other projects when I joined RALPH, is that due to the item you refer to above: Ralph started out with only the defaults and no separate venues?

No major issue as I figured it out in time before my cache emptied.
