Very useful, thanks for the fun program.
Suggestions statusbar:
-option to set auto update interval for status bar
-make buttons smaller compared to status bar (especially move to device, we don't want to push this accidentally wearing our precious eMMC.
-make font / bar larger so it can be more easily read from minimized status amongst many open programs
-colored font: green < 50 % / orange / red > 85% ?
edit:
-maybe just add the latest "show current" information to the status bar SD Swap1 or SD Swap 2 or Device.

I mean the auto-update at boot should be enough, I wouldn't want something using CPU in the background, otherwise I would look at having a daemon instead.

This was written as comment under the movie on Vimeo but I guess when embedded it doesn't show the comment under the movie.

Thanks for the good program, using it for over a week now, seems only 512MB swap space works well enough for me.

On the large swap end things are more in need of adjustment:
do you have any advice on how to adjust swapiness to the device semi-freezing experienced with 1,5 - 3GB SWAP sizes after leaving a lot of applications open for a while?
I am interested to achieve the same smoothness like with small swap space (500-800MB) without haveing to worry of ever running out of RAM + SWAP memory.

Snappiness is not only about swappiness.
I accidentally used swappolube to go even below the 30 swappiness value (which seems better) but hereby forgot to activate the other parameters which were then not set/changed on boot. And device was not usable at all! (to the extent that I restored a backup as I did not know what was going on
).
There is a thread and settings floating around, best ones from vi_, freemangordon or Estel

What about a possible asking for confirmation when moving to device and a visual progress bar for the used swap?
Thanks for your work!

This is another good point, writing swap and reading/writing data.
There is only so much bandwidth so if large amounts of swap are moving to the card this will slow the other card processes down.
As an aside, I am after some feedback of the new statusbar in FlopSwap what do we think?
