Right, you've find a bug with the confirm option, I will fix it for the next minor release.
For the inactivity delay, 5 seconds can be very dangerous.
The 1 minute limit seems to be enough for every one.
But you can override it: just edit manually the config.xml
Search for the rule you want, then locate the XXXX
The value is in milliseconds, so just use 5000, and the rule will for fine.
(But there may be an error if you try to edit it again with the GUI ... not yet tested these case)

GUI works perfect so far and I'm not even using the auto option. Only bug is the confirm on close option. I have unchecked them all & it asks anyway.
Tray icon animation is a moot point under sharpe shell. As long as I have one & it opens with a single click (though a choice for the static icon would be ever so nice, it's tiny and should imo be simpler and more colorful). Mercì I tried to use reshacker to change the icon but I may need more practice-lol
Can not seem to get it to be a taskmgr.exe replacement but processx can still do that job for now. Nice update & lower on resources than processx. Better than ALL the rest.
En réalité, une option unique et utile.
10+
The kill at idle works perfect! (5s) for a sheduled portable clamwin update bat file under jit.
Magnifique!

@Anomoly:
I don't understand what is not working.
Have you open the Perfs&Stats window? It must be option to have CPU indication in the systray (check options if necessary)
Reviewing 3.3.1.1 (May 14, 2009)
OK, it appears to want to work now. Restarting it somehow fixed it. (not like I haven't tried that before). After using automatic priority, I can say it works without issue. QUESTION, after adding an exception to the automatic list, how would one remove that exception?
2 suggestions: replace task mgr option, and open with 1(one) left-click. It is truly amazing how long ms has been selling their bloat with hardly any control at all.
And after a boot not working AGAIN

The GUI bug in the main window has just been fixed en new version (3.3.1.1)
The fact that reoder column and change display size are not save is simple : you are working in portable mode, and thoses informations are stored on the HDD. So in portable mode, they are not saved: no remaining traces, for exemple if you use the soft from a USB Key on a friend's computer.
The installer let a uninstall link, it's normal, even if you choose to intall in portable mode.
You can use the zip file on my website to "really" use a portable version, without installer.
And .. you say the tray icon is reporting false CPU usage ?
Well, I've never seen this bug before. Seems strange. Can you send me a mail with more informations ? Thanks.
