devilish Bug: Wrong label for value in Device Profile page

Hello,

I just noticed this: I have the "home" profile for my home PC and configure it through

Settings -> Device Manager -> Device Profiles -> home -> Custom Profile

In the subsection "Workunit Cache Settings" is a setting "Connect to network about every [...]" .

This, however, affects the value "Store at least [...] days of work" in my BOINC client (Win10, Version 7.14.2 (x86)).

To reproduce:
Screen 1:


-------------------------------------------------
I then change the value

"Connect to network about every [...]"

on the website. Then I go to my BOINC client on my computer

Projects -> World Community Grid -> Update

to load the updated profile. Then

Options -> Computing Preferences -> Computing the value of "Store at least [...] days of work"

has changed:



My first guess is, that the website has the wrong label. It's a small thing, of course, but still.

If I have earned eternal gratitude by finding and reporting this, I would like to see an option to rename the Device Profiles. (Actually, There is a way to do it, but it is a hack. An official way would be nicer). biggrin

Thank you for looking into this and with kind regards,


André Puls

No, the web profiles are just years behind aligning to the newer client configuration descriptors as used in the v7.n agent where the functionality for some has altered.
