We had a major storm through here recently and we suffered damage to the house roof and ceilings. I just received the quote to repair. I’m hoping that a small fraction of the 80,000 odd people that download SDIO and/or Desktop Info every month won’t mind chipping in a few dollars to help out. Click on the big blue button at the bottom of the page to help us keep a roof over our heads, literally!

Version 3.20.2

July 2025

Change 1: Added two number transformation styles to help align tables.

Change 2: You can supply your own arbitrary data to the CHART item without linking it to an item data source.

Change 3: Removed length restrictions from some number formats. Let me know if I broke something.

Change 4: Column1width now supports percentages and in the OPTIONS item, also supports user variables and expressions. Default is 30%.

Change 5: Added MENU key word to page options for W mode.

Hello, Glenn,

Thank you very much for an update! Tables are way more readable now 👍 

Although, it looks like there is an issue with upper/lower case processing in case of bs removed link Both render binary transformation (looks like BS becomes bs) and text within that line also becomes lowercase.

I'm not seeing that. Do you have some example code?

Here is the simple code:

PHYSICALRAM=
    text:RAM,
    display:%1[3.1b]B / %2[3.1b]B (%3%)
    # RAM   6.8GiB / 15.9GiB (43%) <-- 3.19.5
    # RAM   6.8Gib / 15.9Gib (43%) <-- 3.20.2 b
    # RAM   6.8Gib / 15.9Gib (43%) <-- 3.20.2 bs
    # RAM   6.8Gib / 15.9Gib (43%) <-- 3.20.2 BS

I tried to send a full version of my .ini file, but system locks me out..

that helped me find it.  the fix will be in the next release.  

You were right by the way, there was an odd case where the whole display template was being forced to lower case.

I don't know why site rejects my posts as "A potentially unsafe operation". Attached is the text I tried to send.

Sorry for being pain in some place, but I cannot understand why graphs' intervals ignore user variable.

In the config above I use BEGIN-ONLOAD to set a variable named ChartsUpdateInterval to 18 (seconds) and use it as graphs' intervals. I check with "display" that variable is set, but graphs update at intervals about 1 second (logicaldrives and cpu) or 4 seconds (ram).

I have 3.19.5 version and it seems to work correctly (even though according to the manual BEGIN-ONLOAD appeared only in 3.20.0, so it must be just ignoring unknown options).

Could you please check on this?

Thank you!

P.S. For some reason (probably some insane government blocks) I cannot open ko-fi.com from KZ, do you have something else to try?
