I would like to see "inactive" cores NOT count toward my maximum cores.  I have a 32 core add-on and I've installed the slave software on a number of workstations.  I've installed it on workstations used by CAD users during the day, so I've set the schedules for those slaves to be inactive during work hours.  I have two other computers available for rendering, but I cannot use them.  The Network Queue window loads slaves, I assume in whatever order they happen to connect.  Once I've reached my max cores, no more slaves can connect.  If some connected slaves are inactive, their available cores still count toward my max cores.  I'd like to see inactive slaves not count toward the max, or have a way to view all slaves and choose which ones contribute to my max cores.

Related to the issue above, I'd love to be able to change a slave's allowed cores from the Network Queue window, without having to go to each computer and change it.

I'm using version 7.2.135 on the client, master, and slaves.
