As my intuition told me, the memory leak was indeed within the new process icon code. I have reverted back to the old mechanism, which also fixes other icon problems that some people report. I'll switch to the new, more efficient, system as soon as it works completely. It is more complex, but faster and uses less virtual memory (when operating right).
Other fixes are small, but I wanted to get the ball rolling again. More fixes coming. A known bug is in the self-restart feature under some scenarios, which I'm working on. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Fix.GUI: (beta2beta) Work around for very small memory leak in previous beta Fix.GUI: (beta2beta) Temporary fix for icon troubles as I decide to use the old or new (problematic) code Fix.GUI: Fixes case where a change to default I/O priority doesn't immediately adjust the existing priority's I/O priority. This fix needs to be made to the governor, so a secondary fix will be issued as well to complete this.

There's much more work to do, but many things have been taken care of. I'm cleaning up several portions. While I've developed a great new secret game plan for the future of Process Lasso, first I must finish up the existing version . This new beta is coming shortly. For the gamers: Yes, this beta does fix auto gaming mode.

I had not yet added support for I/O priorities (current and default) to the multi-process selection. That is now done. It will be in the next beta.
As a side note, the Help menu will back on the far right, instead of Updates menu (I had a user email me, and he's right it is very non-standard how I have it).
The updater in the last beta or two truncates some text, so that is also fixed in this next beta. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Change.GUI: Re-enabled unofficial I/O priorities (silent build update) Change.Core: Lengthened time before keep running processes are restarted to avoid accidental restarts Addition.GUI: Added I/O priorities (default and current) to multi-selection process context menu Change.GUI: Cosmetic tweaks in several places Change.GUI: Other undocumented Process Lasso 4.09.37 Beta (Server Edition)http://www.bitsum.com/files/server/beta/prolasso.ziphttp://www.bitsum.com/files/server/beta/prolasso64.zipThis post has been edited by cybpsych: Apr 15 2011, 06:33 AM

Since I'm eager to get a functional build out in all cases, I'm removing the duration until I get it properly debugging. This problem could have existed in the last final and slipped by QA due to insufficient testing of duration based watchdog events. Looking at the code, I don't see the malfunction, so will have to walk through it.
It also has a number of other changes, and the addition of an optional 'startup delay' for Process Lasso itself. Some users expressed a desire to have this to work around problems they had seen during startup. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Fix.Core: Restored proper operation of watchdog (broke at some point in some cases) Addition.GUI: Added new delay start feature as requested by users Fix.GUI: Removed a technically unnecessary redundant configuration file load from startup Fix.GUI: Minor fixes to GUI startup procedure Change.InstallHelper: Allow parallel instances to start via Vista+ Task Scheduler Process Lasso 4.09.38 Beta (Server Edition)http://www.bitsum.com/files/server/beta/prolasso.ziphttp://www.bitsum.com/files/server/beta/prolasso64.zipThis post has been edited by cybpsych: Apr 15 2011, 03:59 PM

It actually isn't a full correction (yet), but does cause them to be enforced instantly. I am still working on fixing the timing, which is ignored for the time being.

Process Lasso v4.09.41 Betahttp://www.bitsum.com/files/beta/prolasso.ziphttp://www.bitsum.com/files/beta/prolasso64.ziphttp://www.bitsum.com/changelog/pl/changes.htmQUOTE Ok, the answer to "How the Heck?!" is "I screwed up.". Apparently at some point I uploaded an internal build of Process Lasso BETA (final/stable build NOT affected, of course). I believe it may only be the workstation x64 build that is affected, though I am unsure. I am issuing an immediate fix. The symptom would be the GUI restarting itself every minute or so, which was us testing the new periodic self-restart feature of the GUI.
I am publishing v4.09.41 beta immediately. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Process Lasso 4.09.41 Beta (Server Edition)http://www.bitsum.com/files/server/beta/prolasso.ziphttp://www.bitsum.com/files/server/beta/prolasso64.zip

This fix allows proper discovery of the existing settings, even if you have manually changed them outside of Process Lasso (in other words it goes and looks and doesn't rely on some application registry setting). This little snafu actually exist in the last stable/final as well, though it isn't a huge deal. Since I am so close to v4.1, a backport probably will not occur.
Now onward to two very important beta edition bug fixes...
4.09.41 build 95100 Addition.GUI: (disabled for now) New self-restart capability can restart Process Lasso at an interval (no interaction required) Fix.GUI: Fixed internal build that was accidentally published, causing a restart of the GUI every minute (we were testing the self-restart feature)
4.09.42 build 95200 Fix.InstallHelper: Not remembering startup configuration in exactitude for Vista+ Fix.GUI: Hopeful final fix for 'random' crash at startup (race condition) that has nagged at me for a while Process Lasso 4.09.42 Beta (Server Edition)http://www.bitsum.com/files/server/beta/prolasso.ziphttp://www.bitsum.com/files/server/beta/prolasso64.zip

Please hold, I'm almost there. I am confident this next beta will bring the product up to the quality level you expect it to be at.

Not everything is fixed in the beta though, so some will be happy, others disappointed. More betas are going to come rapidly. I went up a couple versions because I made changes at the last minute. Many/most reported bugs are NOT YET fixed. I am moving as fast as I can. Please be patient until I get to whichever bug you've reported. Trust me, they are all on a list  . If I get to 'RC1' and it still isn't fixed, then definitely remind me though ;o.

It is not perfect, there is more to do. Bad news is that I am disgusted with myself for having a big mouth. It is kind of embarrassing to say you have fixed the same bug more than once, though what can I say. It's time to restore any lost faith, so I'm heading underground.
