What’s new in HDDlife 2.8?

• Resizing the main window
• Now the main window of HDDlife is not strictly fixed: you can change its height and thus see information about free space on all disks at once.
• Canceling turning the computer off
• When configured to turn off the computer, for example, in case its hard drive was overheated, the program used to turn the computer off forcedly. Now the program displays an additional dialog box where you can see why the computer is being turned off and where you have 15 seconds to cancel it. Otherwise the computer is turned off after this delay is over.
• Sending a test message by email
• A lot of users asked us to add the feature of sending a test message by e-mail – it was really unpleasant to find out at the moment when a problem occurred that some parameter had been specified incorrectly during the configuration and e-mail notifications were not sent. We have added a button for sending a test message right from the settings dialog box.
• Trial version limitations
• Limitations in the trial (unregistered) version of HDDlife have been changed – now changes in the settings are not saved, ie the program settings will be set to their defaults after you restart the program.
• Bug fixes
• Some minor bugs have been fixed.
