 Re: SysMon : new release on OS4Depot
This looks great! (It also means that I don't have to worry about turning my "Stacker" example into a full program:) I especially like the Netstat tab, as it means I can see what network programs are doing (and so is a great companion to the Granite firewall). The System tab is also a "first" (at least for GUI programs).

Some small issues I noticed:

In the Task tab, dragging the scroll bar does nothing until you let go. This is strange since the scroll wheel works very fast.

In the Task tab, the purpose of the horizontal slider is not obvious. I think it is for setting task priorities, but in that case (1) the slider's value should change to the priority of the task you click on, and (2) the "Change task priority" button should be on the same line as the slider (so it is obviously linked to it). Or just get rid of the slider completely, and open a window that allows changing the priority.

@zzd10h

New version are nice. Auto-refreshes done good (can be on/off), control over all the parts are done nice as well (all can be operable) and in whole programm make a good feel. There is for long time wasn't any new native and interesting sysmon related SW (i remember only Ranger, and bunch of old ones like Scout, ARTM and co).

And there is some bug-report as usuall:

1). When you tick "Auto-refresh", then the whole interface start to works pretty slow. No CPU loading, but still very slow. You can see redrawing , you can't sometime press on something or scroll the bars. Without "auto-refresh" all is fine.

Imho thats because you make auto-refresh works "all the time", and that busy rendering of the gui, while can make it like "one time in one second" or so.

2). What you use for "About" window ? Just a plain mui code which create a object with text ? If so, there is much better class which already avail for exactly such purpose: AboutBox.mcc. Thats allow to have you nice looking window, with scrollbars and co, and all what you need its only put the necessary text (which can be formated nicely as well). I do not know through if our current SDK have the includes for it, but for sure current-public mui already support it, and includes can be just used from any other oses (mos/aros). If you in interest i can just email them for you.

3). Not so matter, but for better usability: will be good to have ability to resize main window not only to the bigger size, but also to the lower sizes as well (even, if not all the tabs will fits in the final window). Currently you let's say have only 2 windowses in the Windows tab, and want to resize the whole programm to looks nicely and put it to some area on the screen: but you can't, and its still looks "big" as default.

He know that already, just he don't know how to solve .. maybe you can help him ?

@ChrisH @kas1e

I found an issue on SysMon, however zzd10h tell me to wait until further test by other users

If i put SysMon on AmiDock and then reset the machine, at the restart i got an alert message if i click on the SysMon icon on AmiDock exactly at the same time the boot jingle will sound

Can you test it ?

@kas1e

Yep same here, the activated Auto-refresh will make the machine slow and slow .. didn't notice during my test as option was disabled almost 50% of the time

 Re: SysMon : new release on OS4Depot
@all
Thanks for your feedbacks :)

@CrisH
1) Task scroll bar : Samo79 reported this problem for the first version and I was not able to resolve it.
I don't know why.
The MCC Nlist demo.c work great on my system but not in my program...

2) Yes the slider in the task bar is to set the priority of the task who is selected when you click on the
'Change task priority' button.

@Kas1e

1) Yes, I have mentioned this point on the ReadMe.txt.
I have to improve the auto-refresh tabs and have to search how to remove the DoIO() to use SendIO() or BeginIO().

2) Yes too, I use a simple MUI_Request. Sure that I'm interrested if you have more infos.
(my mail is in the about box)

3) I thought that in a MUI Register Group, you can't resize at a lesser size than the bigger element.
Therefore I thought that it was the big size of the System tab who was limiting the resizing...

@Samo79
1) The problem is that I can't reproduce this issue. For me it works when I launch SysMon at startup from AmiDock and
it works too when I put it in the Network-Startup.
Could you try, please, to launch it from Network-Startup ?

2) Yes with auto-refresh the GUI take input just every 1 second.
But when you write "the activated Auto-refresh will make the machine slow and slow", it makes your whole system slower ?

Thanks.

I will post soon a new release who resolves the auto-refresh problem.
Therefore no more slowdown of SysMon when auto-refresh is activated...It's better :)
