+1

I'm keen, just got a pro and having the info at a glance would be gr8! Little sad to see there hasnt been much action on this post for a while could be a bad sign.

(and no the yahoo one doesnt count as yahoo widgets are rubish and require i run a RAM eating extra program)

its probably been two years since this thread started, I hope to see a W7 gadget for readynas.

+1 for Windows 7 gadgets

Not exactly a Vista gadget but this is a nice little desktop view of your NAS.

Word to the wise, I had to run it using a direct point to my NAS IP otherwise it wouldn't locate the NAS. Even with it pointed to the NAS IP, it still can take several minutes after opening to locate the NAS. From there on screen updating can be set for shorter intervals and seems to work OK. Every so often it will lose comm with the NAS and I have to close and re-open. Its also crashed on me a few times and closed itself.

A few things I'd like to see added to this tool:

1) pop up on alert
2) ability to set NAS IP in the app window or through .ini
3) Faster NAS acquisition
4) Notification if comm is lost with NAS
5) minimize to tray option

wow.. I was about to give in and use the yahoo widget.. but the yahoo widget app doesnt support W7..

That alternative desktop view just cant beat what I see w/ the macos.

Any chance of getting a Windows 7 Gadget for Christmas 2009? It would make a great stocking stuffer! :D

I would love to see that :)

Would still love to see a gadget.

I had the Yahoo gadget on my PC until upgrading to W7... and would like to be able to "know" what is going on with my ReadyNAS when I'm not in the same room as it.

I need to know if it needs feeding, is lonely, hungry, overworked & hot, etc.

Bump -- anybody have any knowledge of a desktop ReadyNAS gadget?

With 2 drive failures in the last month, I'd love to be able to keep a closer eye on my NAS.
