I have been running Seti on Boinc for a while and today I added Climate Prediction. It appears to be running O.K. (lots of messages in Terminal) but I can\'t get the CPDNspy addon to work.
I run Boinc from /Users/jeff/Seti/
I have the CPDNspy folder installed in this location and set it up to point at this location but the Progress screen has no information when I run the spy program.
What is the exact name I need to place in the \"Path\" setting?

Thanks
Geoff

It appears that CPDNspy is using back-slash instead of forward-slash for filenames on the Mac so it will never find the file it is looking for. This is from the Console log:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /Users/jeff/Library/BOINC\sched_reply.xml (No such file or directory)

I set the path to: /Users/jeff/Library/BOINC
and it appears CPDNspy added the \sched_reply.xml suffix.

This file does exist in the location but with a forward-slash.

I guess we will have to wait for the next version and hope this gets fixed.
