Another CPUTemp.docky question.

Something I would like to be able to do, but the current CPUTemp.docky doesn't seem to have an optioin for, is to be able to adjust the update rate for the CPU usage graph scrolling. I've always preferred my usage graphs to run slower, say one update every 1 second or so.

So, anyone else think this would be a "nice to have" option?

***BUMP***

Anyone else think this would be nice to have? I would have thought someone would have answered by now.

Hi @dwolfman

Not really! I just want to see the critical thing -- temp.
I have a temperature guage, but the cputemp icon is
much easier to check. The Warning Limit option works nice!

@Snuffy

...and you can even put the temp in your titlebar, very tidy

Quote:The next version of CPUTemp.docky, probably available tomorrow, will have an option to configure the update rate (1/4, 1/2, 1 or 2 seconds).

Cool! I'll be looking forward to it.

Downloaded last night, along with new SFS, installed and rebooted. Working great, with a 2 second update rate!

Something I'm noticing about it now, and this might be a side effect of how you are calculating the CPU usage percentages, is the amount showing when only the background task (dnetc) is running. Seems the "non-background" amount keeps fluctuating between 1 and 3 percent, the same as it did with the faster update rate. I thought that maybe the docky was using that much CPU to do it's updating and that giving it a longer update time would reduce the amount used, but it looks about the same with a 2 second update rate versus it's original default.

Too bad we don't really have a program to compare this with. That's something I miss in Scout, is the live CPU usage display in the Tasks/processes window.

Or is there another program out there that can show that live usage like Scout did under OS3.x?

Anyway, I like this much better than before. CPUTemp.docky isn't as distracting now since it runs with a much slower pace on the display.
