That would also be handy! smile.gif

Mostly, I want a way to know if there is an activity in a Savitar window other than the one I'm looking at. I tend to have a lot of them open at once, and keeping track of each of them is what ends up being difficult.

I'll just keep my fingers crossed. wink.gif

It would be most useful as a window that sits atop all of the other Savitar world windows, with a list of what windows have had activity pop up in them since they were last on top.

The way that Simplemu* does it, is that there's a portion of the window dedicated to activity notifications (bottom-right corner, if you're not familiar with it). Whenever there's activity in a window that isn't the one on top, the name of the window pops up in there. The notification disappears as soon as you check the window.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to have a notification that hidden windows have activity in them. Layering them so that you can always see a portion is a pain and generally hard to keep track of. wink.gif

I suppose an alternative way to do it would be to amalgamate the world windows into a single window with tabs for each world, the same way that Safari does for webpages now. Then you could make the tab for the window change colour/flash/whatever. I suspect that that might be the long way to do it, though. wink.gif

Is that any help? I don't know how well I'm explaining this. Thanks for the conversationing, though!

Hi there! This is my first post, so go gentle on me. wink.gif

I adore Savitar as a client and have been using it for years. It has to be about the best one I've used, and the most reliable.

I do have a suggestion, though. I'd like to see an activity notification feature, to alert the user whenever there is activity in a window. I have to cascade my windows in order to be able to monitor the activity in them successfully, which is okay, but it does limit the size of the windows and the number of them that I can feasibly use at any time. I'm thinking of something along the lines of the little activity monitor in the corner of Simplemu*'s window - that is handy.

I have no idea what that would entail, but thought I'd throw it out there and see what happened. Enjoy! smile.gif
