LockHunter 3.3 stable released!
Nov 29th, 2019
We are happy to announce the 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 you 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 the locking process scan
- GDI objects count grows with each UI refresh
- The icon in the Explorer context menu had a 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 the file was deleted
- In WinXP in some cases “Cannot open service control manager” was displayed
