The WxWidgets default (I believe) is to put the lock file in the user's home
dir,
so it is a per-user lock.
If the file starts with . it's hidden.

Shouldn't we just have
m_pInstanceChecker = new wxSingleInstanceChecker(".boinc_manager");
without any Mac special case?
It needs to be a per-user path because we do allow multiple instances (one per
active user) during fast user switching on the Mac. I'm not sure what happens
on Windows, perhaps Rom can say.
All the per-user BOINC Manager files (stdoutgui.txt, stderrscr.txt, etc.) on the Mac go
in "~/Library/Application Support/BOINC", which is the Mac convention for
user-specific files created by applications, so this seems like a reasonable place to put
the lock file.

Hi David,
thanks to the Debian Wx maintainer the root cause is in BOINC.
please look at the bug for an explanation and the fix
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=781789
making
wxSingleInstanceChecker
to behave like MACOSX does (maybe just adding a .lock or similar) should fix
the issue.
thanks,
Gianfranco

According to Rom, the file name is based on the app name supplied to WxWidgets,
namely line 206 of BOINCGUIApp.cpp:
SetAppName(wxT("BOINC Manager"));
The functions for reading/writing config info
(like window size and position) are members of the class WxConfigBase.
Wx stores this info in a file on Unix; on Win, it uses the registry.

Hi David, do you know where on the code the file is created?
(I would like to reassign to wx, but I need prior to have a reduced testcase)
thanks!

This config file is create by WxWidgets,
so its lack of leading "." should be considered a WxWidgets bug.

Package: boinc-manager
Version: 7.4.23+dfsg-1
Severity: minor
Hi,
It appears that Boinc Manager drops a configuration file into the home
directory without hiding it:
$ file /home/user/BOINC\ Manager-user
/home/user/BOINC Manager-user: ASCII text, with no line terminators
I think this file should begin with a dot to hide it from display in the home
directory or be
moved to a sub directory in a hidden directory in home.
