We are happy to announce availability of LockHunter 3.3. In this version we have reworked the user interface, added multiple file selection, support for drag and drop, added an ability to manage files to delete on OS restart, improved performance and fixed some bugs.
Reworked UI
We have improved the user interface to make it more intuitive, simple and modern. The program main icon was changed as well.
Manage Delete On OS Restart File List
Now, when you added some files or folders to delete on OS restart you can see the link at the bottom with the number of files to remove:
By clicking on it you can see or remove files you have added to removal on OS restart
Multiple file selection
Now you can choose several files or folders at once and the program will show you all locking processes and allows to delete them.
Drag and drop support
It’s now possible to drag and drop files or folders from Explorer or a file manager to the program’s window.
Bug fixes
- Improved performance of locking process scan
- GDI objects count grows with each UI refresh
- The icon in the Explorer context menu had white background, now it’s transparent
- If asked to delete directories on OS restart it falsely reported they were deleted, while actually it didn’t that
- The process list didn’t always scroll with mouse wheel
- “Delete selected processes from disk” function always displayed false result even if file was deleted
- In WinXP in some cases “Cannot open service control manager” was displayed
Changes in 3.3 stable from the previous beta
- Progress bar is displayed on search for the locking processes
- “Menu…” link is replaced by “Hamburger” icon
- The process list didn’t always scroll with mouse wheel
- Wrong processes displayed on non existing path (ver 3.3 bug)
- “Thread error” message was displayed in some cases (ver 3.3 bug)
- “Delete selected processes from disk” function always displayed false
result even if file was deleted - In WinXP in some cases “Cannot open service control manager” was displayed
Just download and install the required installer over the previous version. You do not need to uninstall the previous version.
1. Add “expand all”, “collapse all” buttons to the process list.
2. Add skins support. Let the skins will be in the folder “skins”.
Thank you
Some good changes & Some Bad
Bad
•“Menu…” link is replaced by “Hamburger” icon
this is ok but why not have the word “Menu” next to the “Hamburger” icon inside a bigger button.
the “Unlock It!” , “Delete It!” , & “Other…” buttons are now too small. Make Them Bigger! and harder to click the wrong thing….
Good.
“lockhunter.com” Link (replaces “Visit Web-Site”) makes a lot more sense and is more specific about what the link does
Modern UI Refresh to look more like a windows 10 app
updates for security, performance, & bug fixes are always much appreciated, Thank You!
Aaron,
Many thanks for the feedback! We will consider it when work on the new version.
Would love to see a dark skin and Modern UI design to fit W10. Good software!
Please add high-DPI screen support. I’m using UltraHD monitor with 200% scaling.
Tested and worked like a charm. Thanks for craft this excelent product.
