Will watch all running Widgets and:
Search the Widget Gallery for the Widget
Check the Widget Gallery for updates
Show PID and memory usage
Kill runaway Widgets
Show change in memory usage (check for memory leaks)
This has saved me a couple of times when a bad widget runs out of control and starts grabbing memory. Previously I'd restart Konfabulator without knowing which widget was killing my machine. With Widget Watcher I was able to find out which widget was running crazy and kill it without bringing down all of Konfabulator. Once I knew which widget was bad I could search for a replacement.
A few minor enhancement requests... if something bigger and better comes up, that's fine. I'm ha…ppy with the tool as-is. These are just ideas:
1. Click on the column headers to sort de/ascending.
2. Ability to detect the size of Widget Watcher relative to screen position. (That way I can have this on the bottom of the screen and new widgets don't push the list beyond the edge of the screen.)
3. Hide the icons when inactive.
4. CPU usage.
Scott - When the widget level is set to below the widget name is no longer available in the process list so I don't think there is any way of showing these widgets.
Dan, yes, I have some of my widgets set to 'Below' (and others to 'Konspose Only'). Is the inability to detect those a permanent restriction ... or might this be possible in a future release?
Thanks, Scott
