PPC version available

PPC version now available THX to Brian Francis (brianf68 at pacbell.net)! Sorry for long time before i posted it (i got ppc version from Brian few days after x86 release :) - i was sure i will finish new version soon all that time.

Info from Brian (just in case - SVM should work out of the box):
"If for any reason a simple double-click does not cause it to appear in
the Deskbar, searching for and deleting "x-vnd.shard.svm" should permit the double-click to do its magic."


extra goodness

I noticed something extra when I tried out the new version of SVM. There is no way to organize your deskbar replicants, so your at the mercy of who loads the fastest. Before the array of replicants I used loaded in a really dumb order & was just horrible, but the new SVM actualy fixed that. How you ask simple. It loads slower. Before it was loading before bemail and the digital clock applet & drawing horizontal it left a big gap in the upper right corner cuz bemail loaded after SVM such so I had process controller (small width) & bweather (also small on width) & clip up load then SVM (horizontal) which went to the next line leaving a big chunk of empty wasted space behind then bemail then the digital clock. Now the way things load I have Process controller - bweather - bemail & clip up on the top then the digital clock applet & now SVM. so it's a silly flukey thing but it worked out great that SVM loads last now. Mind you the timing of the digital clock also changed to help make this possible. I hope I jotted that all down right cuz I'm REALLY tired... lol maybe bed is a good idea instead of posting on bebits al night lol

yeah

but i want to show in SVM how it is in reality :)
IMHO showing it as writeable in system is not a good way.

They're stored in ~/config/settings/cdda/*. Of course it can not be changed on the CD itself as it *IS* a read-only media. :) The point is that if it was reported by the filesystem that it is read-only, you would not be able to do stuff like changing the track names with Tracker as it would have no idea that cdda-fs would take care of it.

BGA are the changed names stored onto cd? or just stroed locally in BeOS?

CDDA read-only?
 By BGA - Posted on October 26, 2002 - 21:58:48   (#3808)

Actaully BeOS reporting cdda volumes are read/write is correct. Although you can't actually write data to it you can change the volume name and the name of the files inside it. If cdda-fs reported itself as read-only, it would not be possible to do that.

If someone else have seen that (dissappearing SVM, but still there - popup menu works), please write to me about it.
Jess THX for info.

Sometimes

Sometimes it simply seems to disapear when I have a alot of writeing to disk & then back again so lets say you add 2 700 movies to yoru box. Now burn to cd so you dont need them any more & delete them... then it will go poof after its chage the disk volume in large amounts, but thats not a constant. dnot happen all the time or only due to that.

No :( It works ok here, never dissappeared. I had some ideas why it can be like that but checked them and still nothing. It's really strange. I'm going to make major rewrite of SVM anyway so maybe after it will be ok.
hmm.. one thing: do You use GimICQ? i used it some time ago and it screwed up deskbar replicants, maybe that's it? It would really help me if You could find some "constant" thing after each SVM dissappears.
Can You try to write about each situation in which it dissappeared and email me?

Hmm I love this but I'm wondering if you have found...

Hmm I love this but I'm wondering if you have found the reason why it disapears. I have tested this on many differant systems & many differant versions or tracker/deskbar. All display the same behavior but there is nothing consistant that I'm doing when it disapears.

I'm not positive on this but I don't think this would be a great idea. First off Process controller is about as done as it will be. Secondly I don't think PC wuold play nice with SVM's "Draw Horizontal" feature. The only advantage of linking the applications is it assures grouping in the deskbar. What would be nice is a network monitor to add to the collection but as far as I know net_server does not allow a hook to grab the needed info. So maybe some day when we have the new net stack. Party on Wayne!

Implement in ProcessController........

Can you try to speak with Gb to make just one App !!!
not two :))
Because that's SVM make is what ProcessController need and same for other.

hmm..

no, i doubt it. i always duplicated ~650 file when i was testing SVM so it shouldn't be a problem. Does it always act like this? In both modes (horizontal bar & vertival bars)? Can You tell me what capacity and occupied values are showed in menu while bars are "invisible"?

I had changed nothing

hey I hadnt done anything out of the ordinary - it just disapeared. I removed it & readded it & it was fine. I later had it do the same thing but this time whiel it disapeared the volume name stayed. Very odd. The only thing that I'm doing is archving so could it possibly be a bug when volume size changes alot?

Jess can You give me some more info, like when it happened? had You just unmounted/mounted something? or maybe run an application which also adds icon to deskbar?

KColor has a bug - it exports color with wrong alpha, that's why colors are darker (they are blended with balck background). It's not visible in menu because i use other method for drawing there. Maybe i'll add workaround to next version.

I rewrote code for "sniffing" volumes so now it should work ok with all kinds of volumes.

justinGL: i use only one pixel space between bars because it looks better and takes less space (with 7 bars i still can add one more ;). ProcessContoller uses two pixel space but for bars with different meaning. If You have 2 processors You'll see only one pixel space between bars representing them.

I'll try to post new version this week.

Wierd bug

I just had this dissapear... it's still actualy there as a right click or so will bring up the menus & info but the meters are gone. Just an empty space where it should be. Very odd

Very good!

Super if you have like me small little harddrive split in some parts so you can have the usage under constant surveillance. And you can also change the color whit Color! but not so good whit kcolor.

Quick edition...

Never fails I notice somthing right after I submit a talk back. I noticed that a right on it will show the volume in the proper color selected via KColor... it's only the deskbar view that shows the wrong color. horizontal or vertical it's the wrong color but the right click display listing of the mounted volumes will correctly display the chossen color.

Cool - Color support
 By Jess - Posted on September 14, 2002 - 02:39:37   (#3145)

I was wondering if I could change its colors... I find out I can but find the same thing as the post below. It seems to make the color much darker then it is. a 255 255 0 bright yellow has a dull grey color to it. If this app is fixed & continued it will be nice. I also noted today that it only shows read/write drives in an odd way. I can mount a cdrom & at least the other day it showed it... but on a system that has BFS fat32 & NTFS drives it will only show the volumes with read/write access ignoring the NTFS drives. Not a problem... just though i'd point it out.

Very Nice

I like this little app alot. Thank you!

I have two suggestions:

1. When I drop colors on it they seem to be darker than the color actually selected... or maybe its something w/ Kcolor.

2. The spacing between the drive bars is not the same as the spacing used between the two bars for ProcessController (proc usage/mem). Also the gap between ProcessController and SVM when grouped together does not match the other gaps. Aren't I picky!?!

Good to know that someone likes SVM, thx :))

I started writing this app about a year ago... OT didn't have space bars then. Unfortunetly i'm laziest coder in a world and OT was first.

I'm not sure if "pulse for HD" can be made. I don't know about any special hook functions in BeOS for that. But maybe if app will measure time and watch root directory it can simulate something like that... I'll think about it, nice idea :)

I'll probably release source to public for some time - i must clean it up first, and add some small changes.

Release the sources

Please release the sources so we can do some PPC porting.

Looks good.

Thsi does look nice, although it's functionality is duplicated by OT.
But since my system will not work with the latest OT builds, this is great for me.
It would be great if shard could write another app to show activity bars for each volume - displaying when they are being read and written to. Pulse for hard disks!

Thank you for this app, shard!

WHOA!!

NICE JOB!!!
This is REALY nice!!! This is the kinda stuff we need IMO. I had asked for soem features liek this. I really wish we would make a Network Meter as well for the deskbar. Maybe the new netstack would have hooks that wuold allow this. I had a whole scheme of how to make small PC - Pulse type bars indicate alot abotu each NIC's useage. Anyhow this is sweet! The hozizontal bar is realy nice. Now if only we could Order the stuff in our deskbar it would be perfect... heh If I could organize my deskbar that would rule with all these cool toys... sadly its a damn mess since we cant. Running lots of deskbar replicats sucks cuz the placement is due to how fast each one loads not what you want... HINT HINT DESKBAR OT GUYS!!! heh Thanks for this cool app.
