[APP] iManager - 3D Task Manager v0.09.03b [Updated 2/25/2011]

[lnando84]

Here's a great task manager I found made by xda member "antru". It was made for the HD2 but works great on my tp2. I take no credit in making it, I'm just sharing so others here can use. Enjoy..

Version: iManager 0.09.03b
Desc: Fast and tiny tap-oriented task manager.
Last update: 2.25.2011

Attention. Some people say that device works slower when iManager is in background. If you noticed that on your device please write about it with bug reports.



Video, illustrating its functionality HERE!!

System requirements:
1. WM >= 5.0 (not tested on WM7 yet)
2. Does not require .NET at all.

Status: program is in development mode, so I'll be very appreciated if you test it on variety of WM devices and send me bug reports.

Usage:
1. Launch exe file or use your hardware button to activate it
2. Move finger to switch the tasks
3. Move window left or right to close it
4. Tap and hold your finger longer than 2 seconds to exit the app.

Memory usage:
1 MB per each window task for 16 bit devices and 480x800 resolution

Bug reports:
At each launch the program will create report files in its folder. I would very appreciated if you send it to me (or upload to this thread) with some description of a problem.

1. 32 bit devices support. Probably will launch on HD2 Leo and etc.
2. ini-file support (see below)
3. Scroll speed, scroll start sensivity, remove window speed - customizable values
4. Exclusion list for windows enumeration, windows remove action list.
5. Toggleable log and profile output

ini-file description
If ini file doesn't exist it is created with the values by default. Ini file name - "iManager.ini.txt". txt extension is made due to Word for Windows mobile editing opportunity.


INI-file description:

[Config]
BackSkin=Off - { Off | image.jpg } - background image, Off or filename without path. Location of image - the same that iManager.exe has.
BackSkinOpacity = 50 - (0-100) background screenshot opacity percent. It is layered above background image.
CloseOnDeactivate = Off - close iManager on the first app activation
HideWhileInactive = Off - hide iManager when in background mode
HighPriority = Off - { Off | On } when "On", iManager has high priority while active
Multithread = On - { On | Off } - toggle multithread Direct3D render
Render = OpenGL - { D3D | OpenGL | GDI | Realtime } - choose render engine
ScreenSkin = Off - { Off | image.jpg} window image, Off or filename without path. Location of image - the same that iManager.exe has.
ScreenSkinOpacity = 50 - (0-100) window screenshot opacity percent. It is layered about window image (image.jpg)
ShowProcInfo = Off - { Off | On } - show process info in window screenshot (window name, executable name, memory usage)
UpdateTime = 0 - (0-...) - texture update frequency in background mode in seconds (0 - disable)
VibroNum = 1 - vibration port number

[Control]
RemoveSpeed = 700 - window speed while removing from list (pixels per second)
ScrollSpeed = 1200 - scroll speed (pixels per second)

[Debug]
Enum=Off - toggle advanced debug information while windows enumeration
KineticTest = Off - if kinetics don't work for you then switch KineticTest=On and Log=On and send me bug report
Log = Off - { Off | On } - toggle bug report creation
Profile = Off - { Off | On } - toggle profile creation (profile is used to test program performance)
Render=Off - toggle advanced debug information while render

[Exclude windows]
desktop = Exclude - exclude window "desktop" from the list (not case sencitive)

[Exclude executables]
shell32.exe = Exclude - exclude window of process "shell32.exe" from the list (not case sencitive)

[GDI]
BPP = Default - { Default | 16 | 24 | 32 } GDI screenshots bit depth. Default is bit depth default to your device

[On Remove] - action when remove program from list
manila.exe = No Action - no action. for example manila can't be deleted, so no action
shell32.exe = Hide - hide window instead of closing it, for example, shell32.exe soft resets the device when I try to close it

[Remove Action] - see this for more info
Left = Remove - { Remove | Close | Hide | No Action } - action to perform while sliding the screenshot to the left
Right = Remove - --"-- to the right

[Render]
Alpha = On - { On | Off } - toggle alpha transparency
BackColor = #80202020 - background rectangle color #AARRGGBB (AA - alpha in hex, RR - red, GG - green, BB - blue. (AA = 00 - disable)
BackTexture = On - { On | Off } - toggle background texture
BilinearFiltering = On - { On | Off } - toggle texture bilinear filtration
Opacity = 90 - (0-100) - window screenshots opacity percent
TextureHalf = On - { On | Off } - toggle half sized textures

[Scroll]
ZoomTime = 200 - zooming time in milliseconds
Type = Snap - { Snap | Kinetic | Continuous | KineticSnap } - scrolling type
Vibrate = 0 - (0-...) vibrate when window is near center (0 - disable), milliseconds
Freeze = 0 - (0-...) time to freeze scrolling when window is near center (0 - disable), milliseconds
SnapSpeed = 10 - Scroll speed in snap mode

[StartUp]
AutoStartUp = On - start iManager on Windows start. Start/restart iManager to take effect.
WaitApps = On - wait for apps from [WaitApps] list to start. Then start iManager
WaitAppsNum = 0 - find [WaitApps] apps in memory attempts count (0 - infinite)
WaitTimeout = 2 - program start timeout

[WaitApps]
manila.exe = Wait - exe file name (not case sensitive)

Performance tips:
1. Switch background texture off. More textures - more often texture switches while render - perfomance reduce. (BackTexture = Off)
2. Switch both BackSkin and ScreenSkin off.
3. Switch half sized textures on (reduce videomemory and processor consumption) (TextureHalf = On)
4. Switch logging off (Log = Off)
5. Switch profile off (Profile = Off)
