min amount of time it mines an algo before it switches.

my old system drops a lot of shares when it keeps switching algos.

That was already on my wish list. I was bouncing between X11 and X13 quite a bit a couple of days ago as well.  Even bounced up to Scrypt for just a moment.  Fortunately, things seem to have stabilized back on X11 for a while.

I'm also planning to add in timers so you know how long it mines on each coin.

would there be a way to allow the config to have another batch file run before the actual coin fires up?

i.e. when it decided to move from x11 to Scrypt have it stop x11 mining, execute scrypt.bat, start up scrypt miner.

This would allow the config to have all kinds of flexibility to do things like write out a timestamp to a log file, apply different OC settings, etc...

Just a suggestion! Great program already.

Interesting idea.  Should be pretty easy to implement.  Only issue will be how long to let the stop command run.  Otherwise it would be possible to hang the switcher if that command gets stuck.

Hope to get to these in the next few days.  I'm still catching up around the house from having the rest of the family sick (nasty bug that I've fortunately avoided so far).  I've also seen some suggestions on other threads where I originally announced (with a link here) the program.  One I'm interested in trying is an auto-donate feature where a user can donate a percentage of their time mining to the donation address.  I've got some ideas of how to do it, and it will be optional, that may make it in when I have a few hours to dedicate to work on this.
