- Why not ? we need a decent, transparent one badly. Maybe someone else
- reading this will...
-
- How about a program like Steve Tibets "TaskX" that shows a list of all
- running tasks and allows you to change their priority up or down by
- simply clicking a button. It would also show their individual "CPU use"
- percentages (all adding to 100% unlike Xoper). It could be made a
- commodity with a hot-key that causes it to pop-up. It could also pop up
- on the current screen (public or not) rather than just the workbench.
-
- Here's the really desirable feature : allow specific tasks to be left
- out of the list by some configuration file. This would allow you to hide
- all the system tasks and show only the actual applications running.
-
- How 'bout it ?

- A good idea, but I think CBM should do this. I'm surprised WB3.0
- doesn't. Then again, maybe CBM should do the program I suggested above.
- (The average Joe shouldn't have to use changetaskpri to change
- priorities)
