Yeah...Boinc.NET has that: "Groups". Sounds like a good idea for Corsair's unusual situation--others too I'm sure.

If you mean different locations, like different copies of the computers.xml used. It's still on the list.

Different copies of
computers.xml would for sure do it, but the user would have to manually maintain different lists with identical
<computer>.....</computer> tags and keep them in sync.
What about keeping one
computers.xml and adding one more level to the
Computer selection sidebar:
All groups
+ -Home farm in basement
-Worker1
-Worker2
-Worker3
-...
-Worker13
+ -SeaShipFarm
-StearingMachine
-MotorControlComp
-DiningroomJukebox
-StorageRoom
+ -Dialup home farm veeery slow
-Worker1
-Worker2
+ -InternetKiosk
-Public1
-Public2
-Public3
-...
-Public19
+ -TheFastestMachines
-Worker1
-Worker2
-Worker9
-DiningroomJukebox
-Public3
-Public4
-Public8Any group might contain any combination of known machines (which are defined in
computers.xml). One could select any combination of single computers to be displayed, as it is now, or groups, or the groups root. And each single group might be collapsible/expandable.
