Version history

  • 1.1
    • If the startup disk was busy and couldn't be checked, Disk First Aid was quit instead of left running. Fixed.
    • If DFA encountered a diskproblem it cannot fix, Disk Watcher would give up. Disk Watcher now correctly logs the error and continues.
    • When upgrading, the installer could accidentally revert your Disk Watcher settings to the default settings. Fixed.
    • If you trash the preferencess file ("DW Config" in the "Disk Watcher Preferences Folder") Disk Watcher will now install a fresh copy the next time it runs.
    • You can now define how often Disk Watcher will retry to check a busy disk.
    • Placing the text of error messages on the clipboard is now optional and is off by default. You should probably only switch it on if you are having problems with Disk Watcher and want to send the author the error message you are getting. Like all other options, this option can be switched on in Disk Watcher's configuration file ("DW Config", in the Disk Watcher Preferences folder). This option only works under Mac OS 8.5 and above.
    • Made some improvements to upgrade process.
    • Added a note about a conflict with "Control PPP" to the "known problems" chapter.
  • 1.0.7
    • In some situations, the unregistered version of Disk Watcher would not bring itself to the front when putting up the registration reminder. This made it impossible to run Disk Watcher unattended. Fixed.
