Process Lasso v8.8
This is a fairly large update - there are many additions, fixes, and changes. As always, incremental refinement continues, as does preparation for future plans. One thing Audiophile users will appreciate is the new command line script 'pl.cmd' (can just run 'pl') that allows them to easily display the Process Lasso GUI on Windows Servers in the 'core mode' of Audiophile Optimizer.
Other additions include pathnames to all applicable log entries, which now allows users to jump to the location on disk of the process a log entry pertains to, and in the future allowing much more.
Further, the Keep Running and manually induced Gaming Mode settings are now persisted in the event of an update or restart of Process Lasso, though being a new addition, that only applies to this version and above.
Overall, this a great new version of Process Lasso that has tested wonderfully in our QA labs.
