I have been running Rosetta for awhile now and recently added the World Community Grid to my project list. How do I configure my preferences to have one instance of each project running at a time? In other words, I would like to cache both projects (4 or 5 days worth) and run one of each. Currently BOINC manager may run one of each, or 2 of either projects. I am caching the world Grid projects ok but since I added that project, Rosetta no longer caches more than 2 instances.
Thanks for your help.

Update...
Running BOINC 6.10.58
I have tried using both the local preference file and the "online" preferences.
Under the active tasks tab, I am showing 5 tasks waiting to run and 1 that is running. They are a mix of both projects on my computer.
Again, thanks in advance for your help.

Processor affinity isn't included in BOINC. It isn't possible to state that core 1 should go do only Project A, core 2 do only Project B, etc.

All you can do is change the resource share between projects so they're equal, then hope that all projects run tasks of the same length, that all projects stay up in the air long enough and that the human factor doesn't interfere. Just leave BOINC doing what it does.
