Highlight inaccessible processes in Configure tab

Open Nama opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Hi,

it would be nice, if the processes which aren't able to control were noticeable. Like a lighter grey, which indicates a "deactivated" state, or something else.

Thanks

This is not a bad idea really, it might take more work than it seems however. I need to some research on this topic, but the only reliable way that I can think of, for PACT to check if a process is inaccessible is to actually try and change it's affinity or priority.

I wrote it a long time ago now, but I reckon there should be a better way for this.

I will add it to my notes for when I have some down-time, to look in to it.

Nice, thank you!

Since PACT shows how many processes aren't controllable, I thought it already knows which aren't.

While looking in to #4, I saw a path to achieve this during the scanning process, perhaps not as snappy as I would like, but once I have time to implement new features I will look in to polishing it up.

Since failed process alterations throw exceptions, we can just catch them and log them in an exposed structure, and check processes against that list to "disable" the elements and make them look red perhaps.
