Run when idle
When i select run when idle, it seems to be paused forever, when does it actually start computing ? How does the system detect when it's idle ?

Re: Run when idle
When the "on idle" state is detected depends on which OS the client is installed on. For instance, on Windows that state is entered after a number of seconds of no keyboard or mouse input being detected. The last can be important, one person found that his mouse was set to sensitive enough to be seen as active just from vibration caused by the system's fans running.
