What's new in USB Safely Remove 4.0?
Since 1st beta, which was released on April 12th, the version 4.0 has passed
over continuous beta-testing and improvement. Many bugs of
the version 3.3 have also been fixed, so now we are happy to demonstrate you
the potential of USB Safely Remove 4.0!
After you have stopped a device, but still didn't unplug it, sometimes
it's very useful to return it back to the system. For example if you remember
that you have forgot to write a file to your drive. In order to do it, you have
to physically replug the device, however it's sometimes inconvenient,
because a device might be inserted into the rear panel of the computer.
USB Safely Remove allows you to return
your device back as easy as you do safe removal - in a one click!
After you safely removed a device it doesn't disappear from the menu,
but becames with red cross. Just click to this "red-crossed" device to
return it.
The new version can see and stop such devices like PCMCIA. Also it has a unique feature
to stop even those hot-swap devices which drivers does not support "authentic safe
removal" (isn't seen in native Safe Removal tool), ie Silicon Image
SATA devices. USB Safely Remove stops
these devices via "disable" command, however it makes this process much
easier than using Windows' Device Manager.
If you safely remove a card reader, then you need to physically reconnect it,
in order for a card reader to read memory cards. In case if you have an
integrated card reader it requires computer restart.
USB Safely Remove 4.0 allows you to
disconnect only required memory card. Meanwhile, card reader can work with
another memory cards, without its reconnection.
Now you can change a drive letter of a USB device directly from the program.
Moreover, you can change volume label, or mount drive as folder of a fixed drive.
In the program options you can choose a way of exploring
a device's drive - using Windows Explorer, or using your favourite file manager,
ie Total Commander.
Do you know that you can mount your USB storage devices as a folder of a fixed drive,
not only as a drive letter? In spite of this feature is supported by
Windows starting from NT4 version, it's not used actively by Windows users, because it's
deep hidden (therewith, native safe removal doesn't support this feature in full).
USB Safely Remove 4.0 allows you to mount
your USB storages as a folder of a fixed drive, as well as fully supports
those devices disconnection.
- Ability to enable\disable the stop menu autopopup
- Width of the stop menu is changed according to width of devices names.
- The system tray icon of the program could disappear or be displayed when it wasn't required
(When "Hide icon when there are no devices to be stopped" option is checked)
Most of the card readers makes a drive for every slot even if it doesn't
contain a memory card. Those who uses only one or two memory cards at the
same time, might dislike this behaviour. New version of the program allows you
to get rid of this problem - you will only see those drives of the card
reader where memory cards are connected.
