Zentimo 2.2 released!

We are glad to announce the new release of Zentimo 2.2! This version has two new interesting features: device disabling (permanent safe removal) and ability to return devices back without reboot of other devices. Besides there are bug fix and some minor improvements.

Device disabling

With this feature you can disable or deactivate a device. This is the same as safe removal but the device stays disabled after the OS restart and even if you reconnect it or its USB hub. This option is very convenient if you wish to stay device connected physically to the computer but don’t need it to be active avoiding it to consume power (works if the option “Power off the device after device stopping” enabled) and being accessed by malicious software.

Return device back without restart of other devices

When you return devices back the previous versions actually reboot the USB hub where this device is connected to. When you have other devices connected to this hub they were reboot as well. It might be not convenient especially if you have wifi or LTE modem among the neighbor devices. The new version uses a different way of device stopping that allows to reactivate the device without affecting the neighbor devices. If for some reason you need to revert back to the old way of device stopping\returning you can use this option:

Device error displaying

If some device has improperly configured drivers or has not loaded in a correct way by the system the program now displays that.

Other changes

• Better displaying of technical information
• Command line: “return” and “forcedreturn” commands returns separated error code if they are called on an active device
• Various improvements in language files (Italian, Russian etc)

Bug fix

• In some cases the native safely remove hardware icon may not be hidden
• Duplicate autorun process could be run on OS startup
