will their be any plans to support -d to allow for USB connected devices to be precleared? Just wondering as I noticed it was failing and then realized I needed to pass a '-d sat' for my USB device to work. I know this would be tricky as depending on the device there are a lot of different commands to pass, but again just an idea as its the only way i know of to preclear an external drive before openning it and essentially voiding warranty. https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/Supported_USB-Devices - this site has all the supported devices and the -d command it needs... Maybe something as simple as a popup drop down that has the link to the website and allows the user to enter that part of the command?

Just wondering, I am able to kick off the process but then under the plugin the Disk disappears after some time, saying No unassigned disks available.... however in the Main page I see "preclear in progress...Creating Boot Record ? Partition Table (0:31:50)" Does this mean it is running or is not and is it expected behavior to not be listed under your plugin once its kicked off? I am using Joe's 1.15 version script (assumed this was the latest). I am seeing this in my sys logs: Jun 3 16:10:25 Hades kernel: program smartctl is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO This isn't a new drive but a drive moved from my PC where it was working fine prior. And some more information, I tried running it via putty and watching the system logs... Although Preclear is running I got this in my syslogs...

It was a tough snap in so I am wondering if I damaged something maybe?

Being able to select multiple templates at once would make this a super breeze
