Create Volume Scan and Volume Type Select - C# #20

Open DHorse2 opened 2 years ago

DHorse2 commented 2 years ago

An additional command set is being added to scan the system for volumes and prompt the user for volume type.

Although this could be implemented primitively (IE Cmd) I think the "Primitive still has powerful abstraction" point has been well established enough. Particularly with Admins that typically would have no problem implementing this feature as a console action (Commands).

Given it's a Windows product I should probably do this in C#. It would provide a starting point generating additional features by outputting scripts from code.

Of course I should consult the user base about this. I did. All one of them. Self I says... I says Self... you do whatever you darn well want...

The background (called Automatic in MyDefrag) and Task Scheduler feature is more important but this is a dependency of it.

There was a (closed) duplicate with this text: Currently the system has one each of System, Development, Data and Archive. They could do all volumes of that type but I don't think this is very intuitive to clients. A System->Volume List->Volume Types definition is standard.

Also related: An additional command set is being added to scan the system for volumes and prompt the user for volume type. An additional command set is being added to be used in the Task Scheduler to scan these defined volumes. I guess volume type SKIP could be added to System, Dev, Data and Archive.
