This are settings of my preferences. You see, i only want to get the BRPS for GPU. I got bunches of Gamma-ray's and BRPS 5 Wu's

... do you have Albert preferences setup for the home, school and work venues/locations?

Claggy

No, should i do so?

I thought Ste\/e's post would stimulate someone to do something against this problem. But nothing was done since 6 month! Nothing what i can see.
Every other project is able to let the user pre-elect what type of app he wants to run. And then the project sends out only the WUs for the elected app.
Why it is so hard for Albert@home to do so?
