Author Topic: New (3/31/05) preview pictures of new ProcessTamer GUI (Read 91850 times)

Here's a preview of the new ProcessTamer Configuration GUI in action.
It's a separate program from the main resident tray tool so it takes up no resources during normal operation.

It's main purpose is obviously to help you configure ProcessTamer and create rules, but it will also let you view and change priorities on the fly quicker than through task manager, etc..

You can see that the new gui has 2 tabs, one is configuration of options and explicit override rules,
and the other acts as a kind of quick-access task manager where you can manually change priorities or kill processes.

note that this gui for configuring is a completely separate exe that is invoked when needed, so that the main program running in the tray remains super small and efficient.

Wow. That's a big leap forward from what we have now. I'm looking forward to seeing it in action.

Looks really good!

If rou are gonna make it multi-langual I'll sign up for making the norwegian translation.

Regards,

thanks ozzy! that's a great idea -
i will look into how to make it multilingual, i know some of the tools for doing it but i've never done it.
this seems like a good project to start with.

Well, if you find a rather do-able way of doing it, I'll look into the dutch translation.

It keeps getting better and better. Keep up the good work, mouser.

Suggestion:
Can you make a prefs-button for witch window that will be opened first?
Sett it to Prosesses and it will open when opening, and Configuration for the other.

If you want the user to use it as a change priorities-tool it should open the prosesses-window first.
If it mainly should be used as a config-tool, the configuration window should open first.

By giving the user the prefs for this, that different user can deside what to use it for...

My suggestion anyway

mouser · « **Reply #8 on:** March 31, 2005, 05:04 AM »

it remembers which panel you last had open - i think that will take care of that issue,
though i suspect that the most useful thing will be leaving it on the process window most of the time.

The GUI seems very nice

I just installed ProcessTamer, and have high hopes for fewer BSODs and lock-ups.
I already set them to high priority, but why would I want to click on 'force high priority' for ProcessTamer and the 'front end' PT GUI themselves?

Any idea why Process Tamer won't self-start in Win7?
I checked the box for it to start on boot and also entered my DC key, but it won't do that.
Nice program!

^??
My Norton Startup Manager says ProcessTamer is on its 'start on boot' list, but PTs 'front end' says it's not running at boot, and I have to manually click the Desktop icon to make its icon appear in System Tray.

^Oh! Well that's a load off my mind.
I thought I'd done something wrong or verboten somehow.

Maybe this thread should be flagged as "CLOSED"? Or is it not yet in fact a closed issue?

Why close it when I still have a question?
My Norton Startup Manager says ProcessTamer is on its 'start on boot' list, but PTs 'front end' says it's not running at boot, and I have to manually click the Desktop icon to make its icon appear in System Tray. My OS is Win 7 32-bit.

Because this was a topic from 2005...about the GUI of PT...wouldn't asking your question in your own thread have been a better idea?...chances are, mouser doesn't receive notifications for a topic THIS old anymore...so your chances of getting an answer to a question that has nothing to do with this old topic, is minimal...
