Swatch 1.7d10 is a stable prelim version of a new Swatch I'm working on. Here's what it does:
+ displays the MultiFinder heap (where apps are allocated).
+ toggles on/off the checking of individual heaps. Why: because Swatch checks *every* block of *every* heap *every* time it updates. Turning some heaps off makes Swatch run faster and causes much less VM thrashing if VM is on.
+ identifies blocks as resources and gives resource info. For example, clicking on a code resource in someone's heap displays something like: $0132B4D0 $069E CODE 3 '%EntryVector'. This shows address of block, resource file id, resource type and number, resource name.
+ displays the number of bytes visible in the window for the current zoom factor.
+ uses MultiFinder memory for its list of heaps--about 30K for every heap shown in the Swatch window.
+ displays the number of islands in a heap. An island is a locked block surrounded by unlocked blocks. They're bad.
Here's what it doesn't do:
+ doesn't (really) identify memory in the MultiFinder heap.
+ only identifies system resources in the system heap.
+ doesn't let you change it's update frequency (this used to be stored in a resource).
+ doesn't run on System 6.
+ doesn't do window zooming.
Changes since 1.7d9:
+ now identifies application resources 100% of the time.
+ resources not in an app's current resource chain are labeled 'unidentifiable resource'.
Changes since 1.7d8:
+ fixed an update bug: numbers in columns are now erased completely when they change.
