ideas for process tamer

<< < (3/7) > >>

mouser:
this is #1 on my list to add this week, to have an option for turning off the balloon.

i will also add the ability to customize the thresholds which trigger the raising or lowering of process priorities.

one thing i could think about adding is changing the icon slightly when process tamer has at least one process reduced in priority.. just to make it possible to tell at a glance if has kicked in or not..  that would be an option also.

tenseiken:
Is the balloon tip just an XP thing?  I'm not seeing it at all on 2k, but I know the program is working--I can see the changes it makes in my task manager in addition to the fact that my machine doesn't become sluggish while encoding videos, creating RAR archives, etc.  That could also be a GeoShell tray thing.  Being able to configure the threshholds would definitely be a good option.  And I like the idea of switching the icon when a process is being tamed, so to speak.

mouser:
i thought win2k had the balloons also.  either it isnt, or can be disabled, or its just a winxp thing.
i will def try to do the icon change thing this week, and maybe show a summary of "tamed apps" as you say, in the about box.

redmaledeer:
     
This is way outside the scope of Process Tamer.   But I thought it couldn't hurt to say that I would find useful a program like Process Tamer,  but which controlled download bandwidth instead of CPU usage.   I have more problems with programs hogging download capabilities than with their hogging CPU time.   Being able to prioritize which programs get to do the most (or least) downloading would be useful.
     
Or does such a thing already exist and I just don't know about it?
     

mouser:
there is a program for this - and it's quite an elaborate one.. trying to think of the name, will modify this post with it when i remember.

a couple:

and the one i was thinking about originally:

if you try these out give us a report of how well they work and which one you recommend.
