Thanks for making it possible to move BoincTasks data files away from an SSD.  The first time I tried it, it worked well, but now I have a problem.

I had to install a new SSD due to a crash and burn.  Last evening, after a month of operation, I got around to moving the BoincTasks directory to a hard drive. I changed "C:\Users\CElliott\AppData\Roaming\eFMer\BoincTasks" to "G:\Users\CElliott\AppData\Roaming\eFMer\BoincTasks,' where there were some old files from October 2015.  Now only the old work units will display on the History tab.  All the cvsN files seem to have been updated correctly; workunits completed after 8:30 PM last night are in the files, but the History tab is not updating.  This morning, BoincTasks was frozen when I clicked on the tray icon; I had to stop it with TaskMgr and restart it.  The first time I tried moving the default BoincTasks folder, it worked great, but not now.  Perhaps it is the old files BoincTasks found in the new destination directory that is causing the problem.

Do you know some way I can make the History tab display current information?  I copied the BoincTasks directory before I moved it.

Wish List / New destination for BoincTasks data files

We need a way to store the BoincTasks history and other data files on a different drive than C:.  C: is an SSD, and it is waste to wear it out storing files that could easily be placed elsewhere.

The latest version of BoincTasks (1.59 May 2014) will not install on Windows 8; it says there is an error in a language file, Butang, I believe.

Version 1.58 runs fine on Windows 8, though.
