Switcher Bar warning message

mford50532 · 01-14-05, 11:15 AM

Every time I close a program using Switcher Bar I get a warning message saying the following:

"Program name" is not responding. The program may be busy, waiting for a response from you, or it may have stopped running.

Tap Cancel to ignore this message and return to "program name".

Tap OK to close the program immediately. You will lose any unsaved information in this program.

This doesn't seem normal. Any ideas why it's doing this? Thanks.

In my experience it's perfectly normal :( Dump switcher bar for spb Pocket Plus or one of the freebies :approve:

Jogga, is spb Pocket Plus, in your opinion, the best out there? I don't mind paying the $10 for it... but if there is something else comparable, I'd like to know, freebie or not! Thanks for the input.

I like it, but I haven't used that many others: maybe some of the Guys can offer some opinions. Have a look here for some options without spending cash

I think what's happening with the Switcher Bar is that it's got a very short timeout for waiting for an application to properly quit.

Reason I think this is because if you use the built-in 'Memory' console and end the program from there, sometimes you'll see the timer pop up and it'll wait a few seconds when waiting on the application...Then only after a few seconds will you be prompted that the application isn't responding. But you don't really ever see a timer with the Switcher Bar, if the program doesn't quit right away it immediately offers you the option to kill it right there and then.

...I actually like that, when I tell you to DIE, you DIE NOW Mister!!! :approve:

Yeah it's just trying to terminate the program immediately. I like it also.

And it does seem to get the job done.

Jogga, I got spb Pocket Plus! Is awesome! So many nice fearures including a much nicer look and feel to the X50. Also , it may be my imagination, but it seems to perform much faster! Can this be?

Thanks for the recommendation!
