Hello everybody.
The memory usage seems to be more than double that of PStart. For 111 items (I imported them directly from the PStart.xml file) ASuite's memory usage was around 14MB whereas PStart was at around 6MB. Asuite's executable may be "Lightweight: only 460KB" but is there any chance of bringing the memory usage down a bit?
"Lightweight: only 460KB" is executable's size.
I test ASuite 1.4 (wip) and PStart 2.08 with a little list (35 software, 20 category) and I get memory usage in startup time:
ASuite (with cache) 6.9MB
ASuite (without cache) 9.7MB
PStart 8.5MB
In effect, PStart uses less memory usage than ASuite and I don't know how it is possible. Maybe PStart uses different system to load/manage resource internally.
I would say that if ASuite's memory usage was on par with PStart then it would become a serious contender to replace the mighty PStart... give yourself a pat on the back El Salvador for a job well done... so far!
Thank you.
Wow, I just checked out ASuite (for the most part I was happy with PStart and didn't really bother checking it out) and I must say that it's a fantastic piece of software. I really like it a lot, good job!

I'm definitely switching over to this from PStart. The layout is far superior and it "feels" nicer.
Thank you.
However, can you make it so the windows key is bindable for hotkeys?
I will add windows key (and numbers) in ASuite 1.5.
Also, while dragging items the list does not scroll up or down, can this be implemented as well?
Yes, I just added it in ASuite 1.4.
A nifty little idea to munch on: integration with TPFC. You'd hafta talk it over with Andrew to see how it'd all work out, but when you click "Retrieve Information" you could have it optionally query TPFC to fill out Description and Home Page as well as check out Version information and optionally inform the user of available updates. If we ever get a rating system set up here the Rating could also be gathered from TPFC. Could be very interesting to look into, at least. Smile
It is interest idea to retrieve desc, home page and ratings (of course if you get a rating system) from TPFC and I hope it is possible.
I have already thought on an update system for list's software, but I don't have time to manage software updates on a website.
Bug problem: I can't seem to get Home Pages to open. I click on the Home Page link, but nothing comes up with Opera.
I just tried and it works with IE7 (it is default browser, but I uses Firefox
). Tonight I will test with Firefox and Opera.
Is there a way to make the hotkey to show ASuite simply bring up the menu instead of spawn the window?
For now, no. I will add it in ASuite 1.5.
I have encountered a show-stopper bug with ASuite. When playing a video with KMPlayer while ASuite is running, I cannot get video to show up in fullscreen. As soon as I kill ASuite and restart KMPlayer, the problem disappears. This only occurs when the mouse sensors are active. I use these mouse sensors with PStart and the problem does not occur. Any ideas?
Tonight I will test it. Thank you.
sersiously, your comment about a rating system struck a chord with me because I've long held the view that the "comments" are pretty much pointless. People use them to bitch and complain about how they can't get this to work, or they can't find this feature, or program x is better at doing action y etc. etc.
