In the Tasks view of BOINC Manager is there a way to export or copy a snapshot of all tasks listed?

Highlighting all (ctrl-A) and copy (ctrl-C) doesn't do anything.

Thanks

ETA: I see a list of <active_task> 's in the client_state.xml. I guess I could parse that, but I'm lazy ;-)

Not that I know of. You can take a screenshot but that doesn't help you if you want to paste it into anything else. It is something that might be worth going to git-hub with and putting in a feature request?
