From what I can tell, there are very few. Makes me sad how we fought for the Programming Sticky and now it's never used.
Nyxcharon programs, and I think Ankur.
Yea...I also noticed that...too bad...
We should do something about it!
This may or may not be optimizing though. If they are supposed to interact with those elements again, unless RAM is a serious issue, you are probably better off leaving them in memory.
Same with this, lowering CPU usage is all well and good, but if you are running at full tilt and only using 1%, what exactly are you doing? You must be waiting on something....
Hey mate!
Well honestly RAM IS a serious issue.I am trying to make it work as best as possible even on a VERY weak computers.Some people I know still have computers with JUST 128 MB of RAM memory in TOTAL lol.Hell that's even weaker than my 15 years old PC hahaha
(Guess I am not the worst xD).
My point is to make it work as best as possible so that more people buy it.
As for the CPU,it IS bigger than 2% IF the program is doing what it is designed for,but ONLY if the main window is visible (however the CPU is still not very high even in that case).However the program is designed to be HIDDEN while it's doing what it is supposed to be doing and when it's hidden,the CPU is most of the time 2%.Here and there it jumps to 3% to 4%,but rarely.
This was important to me for the same reason as RAM memory since as I already said...I know many people with VERY old computers and many many of them have so damn weak and old processors.Many of them are even socket 462 with 1.0 to 1.5 ghz at most lol.
You mentioned "You must be waiting on something".
That's true.The program is there running hidden not doing anything.Well actually it DOES do what it is supposed to,but the CPU is low and it jumps WHEN the user let's say...clicks with his mouse.In that case the UAC software does what it is supposed to do (if in the OPTIONS section the user turned on the mouse option of course) and just for a milisecond the CPU usage jumps to 5%,but then it IMMEDIATELY returns back to 2%.
It really depends what the user is doing...clicking on the mouse,typing on the keyboard,the way how the user configured the options in the UAC,wether the user turned on or off the encryptions and so on...there are many options user can configure so it really depends on that.
I did do my best so that the UAC works as best as possible on very weak and old computers even with all options on.
I even tested it on my TEST COMPUTER 3 (the laptop) on which I installed old Windows 98 SE and the software worked so damn great.I did the same thing under Windows Vista and it works the same way
And since I am making the software on my 15 years old PC,I have no choice but to do it otherwise it would work like crap when debuging and testing lol.
The reason why I am trying to make this damn UAC software compatible on Windows 98 first edition AND LATER and ALSO make it work as best as possible on Windows 98 first edition AND LATER is because I don't want users who buy this to complain that it is either not compatible with their OS or that it is taking too much RAM and CPU on their PC (and that for that reason everything else works like crap lol) or both.
Yes I know that today almost nobody uses OS older than Windows XP and that today many people have strong computers,but I know some who DO use older OS and older computers.
I don't know how to say this...,but my opinion is that the more software is compatible and the better it works on very weak computers,more people will like it and buy it
The worst message you can encounter is:
"You must update your operating system before you are able to use the software".
OR
"You must update your hardware before you are able to properly use the software".
I know how I felt when I saw these messages lol.I was pissed lol xD!!!
So I don't know...I don't want the people who buy this to encounter and feel the same way as I did lol.
There IS one option/setting (in the options form window) which requires AT LEAST Windows 2000 OS or later in order to work.But I am pretty sure that nobody will complain about it lol since even Windows 2000 is old OS.
But like I said...it's a long story.Once it's done,I will show it to you,but before I am even able to think about finishing it,I must finish my small UAC data complex center working environment room since that is where I will be holding all my data AND it's complete backup and do everything what I am planning to do in the future.I cannot afford to lose all my data including the entire code of the software.If that happens,I would kill myself lol.
Cheers!
