multiple Surface Tests w/out rescan/reopen window

Post by HardDiskSentinel »

Today, I wanted to perform Surface scans of all my drives using my licensed Hard Disk Sentinel Pro 4.71.

I discovered that, after each test, I had to close the test window, then go back to the main program window to launch Surface Test again, which then required another full drives scan.

I would like it if, once the Surface Test drive selector window was open, that after the actual test window was closed, the selector remained open (with the drive scan still complete) so I could immediately choose another drive for testing.

I understand you might even come up with a more elegant workflow solution, but my main point is that I don't want to have to make several clicks (and wait for the drive scan) when I simply want to move on to the next test.

Thanks for your message.

Not really the way you wrote, but I'm sure this may be also useful: multi-select is under construction: so in a future version, it will be possible to multi-select drives and start the same type of tests on all of them with a single click.

And if you prefer different type of test on a different set of drive(s) then you can still open the Disk menu -> Surface test window again.

Yes, your suggested feature improvement sounds great. Any way to reduce clicks and redundant scans is fine with me.
