Description


This is a plugin for Miranda IM, that informs user about various HDD data (temperature, free/total space, volume label etc.) and about pc uptime period.
At first, the main purpose of the plugin was checking of the current temperature of computer's hard disc drives by reading S.M.A.R.T. parameters of appropriated devices. So, now it's plugin default and first option. But also useful and handy is special popup, that you can customize by HDD Info's variables so as it possible to have all "hot" info about your physical/logical discs in one (or 2-3-n ;)) popup. With this option activated, you have no need to start Explorer only to see for example how much free space is available on your disc C.

The plugin can as well:
- show warning, if current temperature is too high, and therefore, the hard disc drive is too hot now;
- inquire the disc drive temperature by the time-out given by user;
- work only with appointed drives, that user sets in list.
- notify about (un)mounting of external disks (CD, USB-connected devices).


All meanings, support and feature requests please post in the HDD Info thread on the official Miranda IM forum: http://forums.miranda-im.org/showthread.php?p=48089
