Description:
The headlines are for marketing and they always over-emphasize. Resco Locker keeps applications locked in memory. That's it. All the rest is the consequence.
Crash prevention:
Old apps use to crash because they do not expect that they can be moved on NVFS systems. If they were properly updated, no locking was needed.
Example: Locking background apps may prevent backup crashes.
Speed increase:
Apps are accessed through a cache on NVFS systems. Locking your popular apps prevents purging them from the cache. Whether you observe speed effect depends on your working habits. LifeDrive is more sensitive in this respect.
Use on NVFS systems only
This means (at the time of this writing): T5, T650, E2 and LifeDrive.
While Resco Locker can be formally used on non-NVFS systems, it cannot do anything useful here.
Features:
- Possibility to lock apps, preference panels and DA's
- Immediate locking without waiting for reset
- Full one-handed operation
- Customization of the columns, sort order
- Multi-selection
- Display of the DB attributes
Remarks
Before presenting on the PalmGear, Resco Locker went through extensive user testing (thousands of downloads from the Resco web) and several upgrades triggered by the user requests. However, negative impact of external locking cannot be excluded. Use with care.
Update Description:
v1.20:
- Palm TX compatibility
- RLock marks protected databases and databases receiving notifications
- RLock detects background applications
