Lets see how you like 1.26.

I am shure that i will like it .
Just a little cosmetic thing, the "WWW" rollout menu is twice as long as it should be and at the end of the "Extras" menu is a surplus separator line .

Uhhh, what a horror, this is looking bad
but much better than the BOINC Manager

Maybe a side note - recent BOINC versions appear as shutting down very fast - in reality, as soon as the Manager gets a notification from the client that "it understood it should shut down", it simply disappears in nirvana. The client then slowly tries to finishing the tasks, while noone is aware and bothers anymore

The shutdown over the BOINC Manager is much faster than the shutdown over BT.
I know about Windows "fooling" around with running/not running programms and second it's only XP Pro, so i crosschecked it with some systemtools like Sysinternals Process Explorer and some other tools  .

I will fix the freeze on the main program, while it's waiting for the client to shut down.
Der BOINC-Client konnte nicht beendet werden. : Means the client is still running even as it's ordered to shut down.
The reason may be a running BOINC Manager that restarted the client. Or a failure on the client itself to properly shut down.
This is by no means a BT problem.

To get some clearance to some points, i have done some testing:
- BOINC Manager is not running
- BOINC Client shuts down much later than expected with the error message as popup and in logs and no other related log entries are listed
- the shutdown problem shows up, even if no WUs/tasks are running (all tasks halted)
- shuting down BOINC client from BOINC Manager is no problem and works fast (no matter running/not running any tasks), so i don't think this is a problem of the Client to shutdown ?!
- no problems with shuting down the client with BT pre .23

Happy debugging

Hello to all and congratulation for this great software.
I have a little annoying problem with BT: When stopping BONIC client via menu, BT comes to a little freeze and after ~15-20 sek. BT shows up an error message "The BOINC client couldn't be shut down". Further ~10 sek. later the client  and after this all running tasks/WUs stops (in this order) :-( .
This behavior i watched in BT 1.23/.24/.25. Running XP Pro SP3, BOINC 6.12.34, BOINC Manager is not running.

Log:
04 November 2011 - 12:18:00 Shut down BoincTasks ---- The BOINC client is shutting down
04 November 2011 - 12:18:30 Shut down BoincTasks ---- The BOINC client has shut down
04 November 2011 - 12:18:30 Shut down BoincTasks ---- Der BOINC-Client konnte nicht beendet werden
04 November 2011 - 12:18:30 Connect ---- The connection was lost, because the client stopped

Hope for a fix.
