Process Lasso v.2.92.4

Process Lasso v.2.92.4 is a unique new technology intended to automatically restrain running processes that are consuming too many CPU cycles. With Process Lasso, these processes are temporarily reduced in priority so that the system is returned to a responsive level. Process Lasso can even work when multiple processes are responsible for a decrease in system responsiveness. In addition, Process Lasso offers capabilities such as default process priorities, termination of disallowed processes, and logging of processes executed. Process Lasso is extremely efficient and itself has almost no CPU usage. The core engine, called the Process Governor, is separated from the GUI so that one can completely close the GUI and keep the primary functions of Process Lasso operating. The core engine can even be run as a system service so that it starts before any user is logged in.

Latest Changes:

• Fix.Core: Removed hard limits on the size of lists (such as default priorities) in the configuration INI file
• Fix.Core: Now restores priority of a restrained background process when it becomes foreground, if foreground processes are excluded from restraint. The log entry and balloon text will differ from standard restores (if you've set PL to log restorations)
• Fix.Core: Fixed possible problem with disallowed processed based on pathname in specific previous versions (optional feature)
• Fix.GUI: Fixed errant balloon text on process restraint (it said process priority was restored). This was a localization mishap, strings got confused in a copy/paste operation
• Fix.GUI: Fixed 'Open folder' option, which quit working in v2.90, or possibly before
• Fix.GUI: Fixed 'Save' button in default CPU affinities dialog having no effect. Right-clicking processes to add default affinities, or manually adding them, worked fine
• Addition.GUI: Added 'forced mode' setting within default priorities dialog, for convienence. It is still in the options menu too
• Addition.GUI: Added 'do not start at login' to 'Options / General settings / Process Lasso startup'
• Change.Core/GUI: Reduced RAM usage even further. The more processes you have running, the more pronounced the RAM savings will be
• Change.Core/GUI: Optimized stack use to reduce RAM consumption
• Change.Core: Added more sanity checking to the configuration file, which will prevent crashes in some cases where the user made certain syntax errors in the default priorities or affinities
• Change.Core: Default process priority settings in the configuration file can now be in your native language, or in English. They must be exact in their name though
• Change.Core: Some error messages were moved to localizable resources
• Change.GUI: Adjusted 'Options / General settings / Process Lasso startup' menu structure (removed a submenu)
• Change.GUI: Updated Russian translation
