We Got Served

Sam Wood’s back with another update for WHS Disk Management, a cracking add-in which helps you visualise which hard drive in your system you’re working with at any given time.

WHS Disk Management is an extension of the standard WHS Server Storage interface. People who buy nice OEM WHS solutions get fancy LEDs that light up when a disk needs to be removed; those with home-brew hardware have a much harder time. This add-in makes it easier to identify each physical disk in your server.

Significant Changes:
- Huge performance boost
- Real-time performance and temperature monitoring on the main window (click the cog-with-green-arrow in the toolbar to turn this on)
- Shiny new Disk Details window

Version History:

1.0.7.2
Added: Real-time Disk Temperature display on main window, with adjustable refresh rate in Settings
Added: Real-time Disk Activity display on main window, with adjustable refresh rate in Settings
Added: Button on main window to globally start and stop temperature and activity monitoring (button state persists between sessions, monitoring is off by default)
Added: Tooltips for most controls
Added: Close/Done button on Disk Details window
Added: Copy button on Disk Details window to copy disk information to the clipboard (single line or all displayed information)

Changed: Removed “Refreshing” progress bar, replaced with animated image on main window
Changed: Disk Information window has had a makeover
Changed: Settings tab now refreshes main window on settings close
Fixed: Resolved crash when opening Disk Details window for a Missing disk
Fixed: Resolved issue with displaying Add-In when WHS is set to a non-standard font size (still doesn’t look great, but it’s a start)
Fixed: Buttons are no longer erroneously disabled after closing Disk Details window
Fixed: Resolved erroneous white border around main window form elements after closing Settings
Fixed: Rebuilt MSI package using latest WiX/Votive to prevent Vista from marking the installer as invalid
