Feature Request: Visual diagram of "blocks" being tested? #16

Open lexterror opened 10 months ago

lexterror commented 10 months ago

Hi, I would like to see a visual representation of the blocks being tested. If theres a bad block/sector it would be color "red" vs normal color. Also, a different color for the blocks already tested vs those that need to be tested. It would be an animation while the data is being tested.

Thank you!

Something similar to this:

I get the idea but this would be a new feature. CapacityTester was originally meant to check if a storage device lies about its capacity and as explained in the previous issue, even the full disk test only reports the first error.

Interesting idea though. I could add a third option to the disk test, scan the whole thing with block precision and then paint green and red dots instead of reporting the usable capacity.

If anyone else would be interested in such a feature too, please add a comment. Then I'll be more likely to implement that feature.

Another thing worth to mention on this screenshot, have 'tabs' for each drive, so if I need run multiple tests make sense have tabs not start app for each testing. Just more convenient
