ProcessTamer / Re: Tray Balloon messages auto-extinction ?

PS. . . I *do not* want to turn off balloon tips.  They are useful for my system and use of PT.   Often the information is something that I need to know.  I just want then to behave more politely.

ProcessTamer / Re: Tray Balloon messages auto-extinction ?

Along the same lines as "auto extinction", I would like to request that the balloon tips go away when you hover over them, or alternatively after about 1-2 seconds.  It is of no point to display them longer than that, since the situation is likely to change.

The problem I am having consistently, is that I use a double status bar (two rows of icons) and the balloon tips from Process Tamer (PT) are the only ones that stay around and get in the way of clicking on application icons in the status bar.  Often I will go to click on the browser (or other running application) icon and it is completely covered by the PT icon and I have to click to close the balloon tip to get to the browser icon (or whichever)

Even MORE importantly is that when I am dragging and dropping from one window to another, I often drag to the status bar, wait for the other application to pop up and then drag into that application.  When PT has a balloon tip up and it covers an icon, it is often the application that I have to "pop-up" that it is covering.  Pretty lousy to sit there and wait for the balloon tip to go away (NOT ever) so that the application will come up, but instead, having to drop whatever I'm dragging and go back and do it again.

It's really a minor point, but it comes up more often than you might think and it really is the only complaint I have about PT!

(That was a left handed compliment to a very nice program that does what it is supposed to.)

Cheers!

I had exactly the same problem.

Doing the File --> Open  and then restarting the application worked to fix the problem.

Living Room / Re: Internet Faxing

I've been using CallWave (http://www.callwave....g/virtualFax_L1.aspx) for their virtual fax number for several years, and they just unrolled a send fax service also.  It is a little expensive, but still far far less than you would pay for a phone line.   I pay $10 month for more faxes than I use and the service is reliable and easy to use.

Before I used CallWave for outgoing faxes, I used them for incoming (with a private fax number) and used FaxZero to send faxes.  The FaxZero service offers free faxing with an ad on the first page and a limit of maybe 3-4 pages total.  You can pay $2 to send a fax with them and not have the ad and have more pages.  The service worked great and the ads were only a minor inconvenience I could avoid when I wanted to.  Although pay for one fax a month and I can pay for the upgrade to CallWave to get outgoing fax also.

Hope this helps.
