Actually, I put in a plug for BOINCTASKS and asked that the core client (BOINC) be modified to support updating app_config and app_info xml files as shown here (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=8051)
If they dont implement my suggestion, maybe they will implement a get and set rpc call to allow easy upload/download of app_config and app_info. At a minimum, the core client rpc call could include the name of the xml file allowing "app_info" to be used instead of "app_config" since they both go into the same project folder.
If they do implement my suggestion then your cc_config tool would allow easy edit of app_config and app_info else you would have to add an "edit app_config" to boinctasks.
Thanks for reading and thank you for your BT program.

I asked David if he could add a rpc for the app config, but it was denied.

FYI - The
app_config.xml file replaces the
app_info.xml file in the new revisions of the Pre-Release versions of BOINCs program. Whether you use Windows or Linux, app_config.xml can be found or needs to be created in the
projects > www.worldcommunitygrid.org folder. These folders will be inside other folders, but you should only have one combination of such folders on your computer.
Here is an example of the app_config.xml file...
<app_config>
<app>
<name>hcc1</name>
<gpu_versions>
<max_concurrent>4</max_concurrent>
<gpu_usage>0.25</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>0.50</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
</app_config>
The cc_config.xml file will still be located in the BOINC folder.
A little trick I figured out, because I was always modifying the app_config.xml file, until I found the best configuration for my computer, was to create a Shortcut of the app_config.xml and move the Shortcut to the Desktop. This provided easy access to the file. As soon as I was happy with the files' configuration, it was easy to delete the Shortcut link.
I hope this information helps someone.
