Zenovix CLI (Pro)

Pro feature

Zenovix CLI adds a safe read-only command line interface for Pro users who need automation, storage analysis and reporting workflows outside the desktop app.

The CLI is designed for scheduled storage analysis, Storage History Workbooks, Excel-compatible exports, CSV exports, JSON output, PowerShell workflows, NAS storage analysis, UNC storage scanning and Power BI friendly reporting.

Cleanup remains desktop-only. The CLI does not delete, archive, restore, move, rename, clean folders or perform automatic cleanup. Use Zenovix Storage Manager for review-first cleanup, archive, restore and Recovery Centre workflows.

What's new

  • Added Zenovix CLI as a Pro read-only command line interface for storage analysis and reporting.
  • Added support for Storage History Workbooks so scheduled scans can build a history over time.
  • Added Excel-compatible XLSX exports, CSV exports and JSON output for reporting workflows.
  • Added command line support for scheduled scans through Windows Task Scheduler and PowerShell.
  • Added support for local drives, NAS devices, UNC paths and network shares that Windows can access.
  • Kept the CLI safe by design: cleanup, archive, restore and Recovery Centre workflows remain desktop-only.

Version 1.0.33.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.33.0

Released: 20 July 2026

Zenovix 1.0.33 adds reusable Scheduled Scan Plans for Pro, powered by Windows Task Scheduler, and ODBC Storage History export for long-term trend analysis and BI reporting. Sensitive database credentials are protected with Windows Credential Manager, and this release also hardens elevated Fast Scans and imported scan handling.

New

  • Added Scheduled Scan Plans for Zenovix Pro: create, edit, duplicate and remove reusable plans.
  • Save scan sources, scan settings and output destinations, then run plans manually or automatically through Windows Task Scheduler.
  • Enable, disable and manage schedules directly from Zenovix.
  • Added ODBC Storage History export: send immutable scan snapshots to ODBC-compatible databases for historical reporting, trend analysis and tools such as Power BI.
  • Combined ODBC export with Storage History Workbooks and JSON, CSV or XLSX reports, using transactional writes that avoid duplicating history when an export is retried.
  • Added connection testing, schema validation and database-capacity checks for ODBC exports.
  • Added CLI execution of saved scan profiles using stable profile IDs.
  • Added secure storage of sensitive ODBC connection values in Windows Credential Manager.

Version 1.0.27.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.27.0

Released: 6 July 2026

Zenovix 1.0.27.0 focuses on safer cleanup workflows, stronger security hardening, better Storage History handling and a smoother dashboard review experience.

The Biggest Space Users dashboard is now more practical during review. You can right-click entries in Top 10 Largest Files or Largest Folders and open the selected file or folder directly from Zenovix, while left-click still keeps its existing dashboard drill-in behaviour.

Storage History Workbooks are now managed more safely over time. Large active workbooks can be automatically rotated into timestamped archive copies before a fresh workbook is started, helping keep history logging responsive while preserving existing history on disk.

Security and reliability improvements include stricter archive and restore path validation, safer restore audit paths, bounded document and workbook parsing, CSV export protection against spreadsheet formula injection, and more conservative handling of imported saved-scan cleanup selections.

Other improvements include correctly resetting similar-scan settings when restoring defaults, improved Windows open handling for both files and folders, and fixed review navigation readiness so the review selection step becomes available at the correct point.

What changed

  • Made the Biggest Space Users dashboard more practical during review: right-click entries in Top 10 Largest Files or Largest Folders to open the selected file or folder directly from Zenovix.
  • Kept left-click dashboard drill-in behaviour unchanged for the largest file and folder lists.
  • Added safer Storage History Workbook management over time by rotating large active workbooks into timestamped archive copies before starting a fresh workbook.
  • Helped keep history logging responsive while preserving existing Storage History Workbooks on disk.
  • Added stricter archive and restore path validation.
  • Made restore audit paths safer.
  • Added bounded document and workbook parsing.
  • Added CSV export protection against spreadsheet formula injection.
  • Handled imported saved-scan cleanup selections more conservatively.
  • Reset similar-scan settings correctly when restoring defaults.
  • Improved Windows open handling for both files and folders.
  • Fixed review navigation readiness so the review selection step becomes available at the correct point.

Version 1.0.26.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.26.0

Released: 5 July 2026

Zenovix 1.0.26.0 adds the Zenovix CLI, Storage History Workbooks and clearer cleanup review.

The Zenovix CLI is a Pro feature. It provides safe, read-only command line storage analysis for users who want to run scans, health checks, reports, exports and Storage History Workbook workflows from PowerShell, Windows Task Scheduler or admin scripts. The CLI is intentionally read-only: cleanup, archive, restore and Recovery Centre actions remain in the desktop app.

This release also adds Storage History Workbook support in the desktop app, so Zenovix can append scan summaries and cleanup history to an Excel-compatible workbook over time. That makes it easier to track storage growth, duplicate changes, skipped files, top folders, file categories and cleanup activity across repeated scans.

The Cleanup Queue and review screens have also been refined. Review decisions are easier to scan, filtered results stay clearer, queued empty folders are shown more directly, and final cleanup choices are easier to check before anything is archived, recycled or deleted.

Similar-file scan settings are now more predictable too: custom similar-scan defaults are only persisted when saved from Settings, helping the recommended scan defaults stay clean for normal use.

What changed

  • Added the Zenovix CLI for Zenovix Pro: safe, read-only command line storage analysis for scans, health checks, reports, exports and Storage History Workbook workflows.
  • Enabled CLI use from PowerShell, Windows Task Scheduler and admin scripts, while keeping cleanup, archive, restore and Recovery Centre actions in the desktop app.
  • Added Storage History Workbook support in the desktop app, appending scan summaries and cleanup history to an Excel-compatible workbook over time.
  • Made it easier to track storage growth, duplicate changes, skipped files, top folders, file categories and cleanup activity across repeated scans.
  • Refined the Cleanup Queue and review screens so review decisions are easier to scan and filtered results stay clearer.
  • Showed queued empty folders more directly and made final cleanup choices easier to check before anything is archived, recycled or deleted.
  • Made similar-file scan settings more predictable by only persisting custom similar-scan defaults when saved from Settings.

Version 1.0.25.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.25.0

Released: 3 July 2026

Zenovix 1.0.25.0 focuses on speed and responsiveness for large scans.

Fast Scan has been reworked to read NTFS file layout metadata more efficiently in administrator mode, making large local NTFS scans noticeably faster while still capturing file sizes, timestamps, folders and empty-folder information for the dashboard.

The Analysis Dashboard has also been optimised for large result sets. Zenovix now reuses a precomputed scan index for filtering, chart summaries, largest files and folders, old-file counts, archive candidates and insight cards, reducing repeated work as you move around the dashboard.

Review and empty-folder handling are smoother on big scans too, with fewer repeated refreshes and faster bulk updates when many empty folders are discovered. The file detail preview now avoids sorting entire large result sets when only the top preview rows are needed.

What changed

  • Reworked Fast Scan to read NTFS file layout metadata more efficiently in administrator mode, making large local NTFS scans noticeably faster.
  • Fast Scan still captures file sizes, timestamps, folders and empty-folder information for dashboard analysis.
  • Optimised the Analysis Dashboard so filtering, chart summaries, largest files and folders, old-file counts, archive candidates and insight cards reuse a precomputed scan index.
  • Reduced repeated dashboard work as you move around large scan results.
  • Improved review and empty-folder handling on big scans with fewer repeated refreshes and faster bulk updates when many empty folders are discovered.
  • Updated the file detail preview so top preview rows can be shown without sorting entire large result sets.

Version 1.0.24.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.24.0

Released: 3 July 2026

Zenovix 1.0.24.0 focuses on clearer Similar Files review language and a more readable Historic File Activity chart.

Fuzzy matching wording has been renamed to Similar Files across review screens, settings and scan result explanations, so the app uses the same language more consistently.

New similar-file results now describe matches as Similar Name or Similar Content for images, videos, audio, documents and archives. Older saved results that still contain previous fuzzy-match labels remain compatible.

Historic File Activity has also been refined so quieter periods remain visible even when one period has much higher activity.

Bar sizing, baseline styling, labels, hover colours and chart theme resources have all been polished for the Historic File Activity view.

The Microsoft Store package version has been bumped to 1.0.24.0 and the final Store package has been validated for release.

What changed

  • Renamed fuzzy matching surfaces to clearer Similar Files wording across review, settings and scan result explanations.
  • Updated similar match reasons so new results describe matches as Similar Name or Similar Content for images, videos, audio, documents and archives.
  • Preserved compatibility with older saved results that still contain previous fuzzy-match labels.
  • Refined the Historic File Activity chart so quieter periods remain visible even when one period has much higher activity.
  • Improved Historic File Activity bar sizing, baseline styling, labels and hover colouring.

Version 1.0.23.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.23.0

Released: 2 July 2026

Zenovix 1.0.23.0 focuses on a cleaner scan setup experience, stronger settings control, and a more polished Analysis Dashboard.

The scan setup screen has been reorganised so folder selection, scan mode, and scan actions are easier to follow. Network locations can now be added directly, selected folders are easier to remove, and Start Scan stays disabled until at least one folder is selected.

Scan settings have moved into the Settings screen and now persist more consistently between sessions. This includes scan safety choices, cloud-file handling, duplicate matching rules, similar-file thresholds, paging options, theme, and analysis level.

A new reset option restores the recommended defaults. Similar-file matching is also easier to understand, with a single threshold control and clearer labels.

Fast Scan now makes analysis-only duplicate and similar-file controls unavailable, so the visible options match the selected scan mode.

The Analysis Dashboard has been refined with improved chart layout, animated storage-category visuals, better responsive sizing, cleaner insight cards, and clearer wording around similar files. Image preview handling has also been improved so previews that are temporarily unavailable can be retried later.

What changed

  • Reorganised scan setup so folder selection, scan mode and scan actions are easier to follow.
  • Added direct network location entry and made selected folders easier to remove.
  • Start Scan now stays disabled until at least one folder has been selected.
  • Moved scan settings into Settings and improved persistence between sessions.
  • Settings now cover scan safety choices, cloud-file handling, duplicate matching rules, similar-file thresholds, paging options, theme and analysis level.

  • This release focuses on a cleaner scan setup experience, stronger settings control and a more polished Analysis Dashboard.

Version 1.0.22.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.22.0

Released: 30 June 2026

Zenovix 1.0.22.0 focuses on smoother large-scan analysis and clearer cleanup review state.

This release adds a new columnar scan index for large result sets, helping the Analysis Dashboard refresh filters, chart summaries, file type breakdowns, size bands, and largest-file views with less repeated work.

Saved scan loading and saving now use a more memory-conscious streaming path, and duplicate groups are loaded into the UI in batches to reduce unnecessary refresh churn.

Cleanup review state is also more predictable. Successfully archived, recycled, or permanently deleted files and empty folders are removed from the current scan results after execution, while skipped or failed items remain available for review.

The Historic File Activity chart has been refined too. It now starts with yearly totals, drills down through quarters, months, and days, and shows clearer breadcrumb and navigation controls so the selected time period is easier to understand.

What changed

  • Added a new columnar scan index for large result sets, helping the Analysis Dashboard refresh filters, chart summaries, file type breakdowns, size bands and largest-file views with less repeated work.
  • Saved scan loading and saving now use a more memory-conscious streaming path.
  • Duplicate groups are loaded into the UI in batches to reduce unnecessary refresh churn.
  • Successfully archived, recycled or permanently deleted files and empty folders are removed from the current scan results after execution.

Version 1.0.21.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.21.0

Released: 29 June 2026

Zenovix 1.0.21.0 adds elevated Fast Scan support, expands what is available in the free version, and refines Recovery Centre navigation for larger archive records.

Fast Scan can now use NTFS Master File Table (MFT) scanning when Zenovix is launched as administrator. On supported NTFS drives, this gives Zenovix a more direct way to enumerate files, which can make scan setup and file discovery faster on large folders or drives.

Standard scanning remains available without administrator rights, and Zenovix still only scans locations selected by the user.

Recycle Bin cleanup and permanent delete are now available in Zenovix Free. This means free users can review duplicate or unwanted files and then choose to send reviewed items to the Windows Recycle Bin or delete them permanently.

Recoverable archive cleanup remains part of Zenovix Pro. Pro still includes archive-based cleanup, Recovery Centre, save, and export features.

Zenovix Free now defaults to Recycle Bin cleanup, giving free users the safest available direct cleanup option by default. Zenovix Pro continues to default to recoverable archive cleanup, so Pro users start from the most protective workflow with Zenovix recovery records.

Recovery Centre paging has been refined for large archive records. Page details and navigation controls for the restore preview list now sit at the bottom-right of the file table, making it easier to browse large recovery sets without taking space away from filters and archive status details.

This update improves the release path for both Free and Pro users: faster admin-mode file discovery where available, clearer cleanup defaults, more useful Free cleanup options, and a cleaner Recovery Centre layout for larger archives.

What changed

  • Fast Scan can now use NTFS Master File Table (MFT) scanning when Zenovix is launched as administrator.
  • Standard scanning remains available without administrator rights, and Zenovix still only scans locations selected by the user.
  • Recycle Bin cleanup and permanent delete are now available in Zenovix Free after review.
  • Recoverable archive cleanup remains part of Zenovix Pro, alongside Recovery Centre, save and export features.
  • Zenovix Free now defaults to Recycle Bin cleanup as the safest available direct cleanup option.
  • Zenovix Pro continues to default to recoverable archive cleanup with Zenovix recovery records.
  • Recovery Centre restore preview page details and navigation controls now sit at the bottom-right of the file table.
  • This release improves the path for both Free and Pro users with faster admin-mode file discovery where available, clearer cleanup defaults, more useful Free cleanup options and a cleaner Recovery Centre layout for larger archives.

Version 1.0.19.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.19.0

Released: 27 June 2026

Zenovix 1.0.19.0 focuses on making the analysis and review workflow faster, clearer and easier to use, especially on larger scans.

The analysis dashboard now gives quicker feedback when filters are applied, with improved progress messaging and smoother dashboard refresh behaviour. Review screens have also been refined with clearer paging controls, saved rows-per-page preferences, and better handling of large duplicate review lists.

Cleanup and archive workflows are safer and easier to follow. When archive actions skip or fail for a file, Zenovix now marks those items clearly for review instead of leaving them looking ready for cleanup. Image preview handling has also been hardened so files with unsupported preview codecs can fall back more reliably to file icons.

What changed

  • Faster dashboard feedback when applying filters or drilling into analysis results.
  • Improved dashboard progress indication during longer refreshes.
  • Better review pagination for large duplicate and cleanup candidate lists.
  • Saved review display preferences across sessions.
  • Clearer cleanup status when archive items are skipped or need review.
  • Improved handling of preview failures for unsupported image formats.

Version 1.0.17.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.17.0

Released: 21 June 2026

Zenovix 1.0.17 refines the main workflow screens. Scan setup now brings folder sources and matching options together, Fast Scan makes advanced duplicate options visibly unavailable while enabled, and review and Archive screens have been cleaned up for clearer decisions.

What changed

  • A clearer scan setup experience now brings source selection and scan settings together in one place.
  • Fast Scan now makes advanced options visibly unavailable while it is enabled, reducing setup confusion.
  • Exact duplicate and fuzzy matching review screens have been refined for easier comparison and cleanup decisions.
  • The Archive screen has been simplified while preserving Zenovix's recovery-first safety model.
  • Batch action wording has been cleaned up so review workflows feel more predictable.

Version 1.0.16.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.16.0

Released: 20 June 2026

Zenovix 1.0.16 fixes Microsoft Store Pro add-on matching when the Store returns a suffixed add-on ID. Legacy paid app SKU matches are now kept for support diagnostics only and no longer unlock Pro by themselves.

What changed

  • Updated Pro add-on matching so Microsoft Store responses with a suffixed add-on ID still match the configured Zenovix Pro add-on.
  • Stopped using legacy paid app SKU matches as a Pro unlock source, because Store diagnostics showed one of those identifiers can appear for new or Free users.
  • Kept legacy paid SKU matches in support diagnostics only, so support can see what the Microsoft Store returned without treating that match as Pro access.
  • Kept Free scan, analysis, duplicate review, similarity review, dashboard, and local result exploration available in Free mode.
  • Kept Zenovix Pro as the unlock for save, export, cleanup execution, archive restore, archive maintenance, and Recovery Centre workflows.
  • This is a focused Microsoft Store entitlement hotfix with no changes to scanning, review, cleanup, archive, or recovery behaviour.

Version 1.0.15.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.15.0

Released: 20 June 2026

Zenovix 1.0.15 fixed Pro access for some customers who bought Zenovix before it moved to the Free + Pro model. Some legacy paid Microsoft Store licences returned a more specific Store licence ID than expected, and Zenovix recognised both legacy paid licence formats in that release.

What changed

  • Fixed Pro recognition for legacy paid Microsoft Store customers who bought Zenovix before it moved to the Free + Pro model.
  • Recognised both legacy paid licence formats when the Microsoft Store returned a more specific Store licence ID than expected.
  • Kept the existing Zenovix Pro add-on unchanged.
  • Kept Free and Pro feature access the same.

  • Improved Microsoft Store licence support so entitlement issues are easier to understand and easier to support.
  • Improved support for existing paid customers and new Pro add-on customers when Zenovix checks Store licence details.
  • Free mode still includes local scan, analysis, duplicate review, similarity review, and dashboard workflows.
  • Pro continues to unlock save, export, cleanup execution, archive restore, archive maintenance, and Recovery Centre actions.

Version 1.0.13.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.13.0

Released: 19 June 2026

Zenovix 1.0.13.0 adds Fast Scan, improves audio fuzzy matching, expands dashboard file type analysis, and introduces Zenovix Free and Zenovix Pro entitlement support.

What's new

Version 1.0.11.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.11.0

Released: 18 June 2026

This release focuses on making saved scans safer and easier to trust, especially when files have changed since the original scan.

What's new

  • Added stronger saved scan verification so Zenovix can detect files that have been moved, deleted, or changed since a scan was saved.
  • Deep Verify now removes missing files from review data and resets affected groups so outdated duplicate decisions are not treated as trusted.
  • Missing file previews now clearly explain that the file is no longer available and that Deep Verify should be run.
  • Added startup saved scan support so previous scan state can be restored more smoothly when reopening the app.
  • Improved scan cancellation handling so long scans stop more predictably when cancelled.

Version 1.0.10.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.10.0

Released: 15 June 2026

This update improves saved scan handling and scan progress feedback. Zenovix scan files now open directly with Zenovix Storage Manager when launched from Windows, saved scans show clearer loading feedback, scan progress is easier to read during long scans, and folder discovery cancellation is more responsive.

What's new

  • Zenovix scan files now open directly with Zenovix Storage Manager when launched from Windows.
  • Saved scans now show clearer loading feedback while Zenovix validates and restores the review workspace.
  • The scan progress bar now includes a moving highlight so it is clearer that long scans are still active.
  • Scan discovery cancellation is more responsive during folder discovery.
  • This release also includes reliability improvements and additional validation around saved scan startup handling and scan progress behaviour.

Version 1.0.9.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.9.0

Released: 15 June 2026

Zenovix 1.0.9.0 focuses on making large duplicate-review sessions smoother and safer to work through. This update improves batching, review selection, visible-item bulk actions, and cleanup summary reliability across duplicate and fuzzy-match workflows.

Highlights

  • Duplicate and fuzzy-match review screens now load large result sets in manageable batches, with clear Load more controls and loaded-count summaries.
  • Review Selection now also supports loading more matching files, so very large scans are easier to browse without slowing the screen down.
  • Bulk review actions now apply to the currently loaded visible items, making the scope of actions clearer and more predictable.
  • Long-running review selection changes now show a progress overlay and temporarily prevent overlapping actions while Zenovix is applying the update.
  • Large duplicate groups are easier to inspect: the comparison preview is capped for responsiveness, while the full group remains available in the file list.
  • Review counts, cleanup totals, and archive-readiness summaries update more reliably after marking files, filtering results, refreshing archive state, or starting a new scan.
  • Category and review navigation behavior has been tightened so moving between dashboard filters, exact duplicates, and fuzzy matching is more consistent.
  • Recovery/archive state refreshes now keep review cleanup summaries in sync more reliably after archived items are removed from active review lists.

Version 1.0.8.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.8.0

Released: 12 June 2026

Zenovix 1.0.8.0 improves cleanup confidence, recovery management, and app information accuracy. This update makes the Recovery Centre easier to manage, refreshes scan results after archive cleanup, and improves version details for Microsoft Store installs.

Highlights

  • Improved Recovery Centre archive names so cleanup archives are easier to identify and manage later.
  • Added support for deleting old recovery archives in Recovery Centre when they are no longer needed.
  • Cleanup workflows now refresh scan results after successful archive cleanup, so the app state better reflects what has changed on disk.
  • Improved the About window to show more accurate version and package information, especially for Microsoft Store installs.
  • Refined the exact duplicate review table to make key details easier to scan at a glance.
  • Added general reliability and regression test coverage improvements.

Version 1.0.7.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.7.0

Released: 11 June 2026

Zenovix 1.0.7.0 is a hotfix release. It fixes duplicate cleanup dashboard totals and improves Empty Folder Review choices.

Improvements

  • Improved Empty Folder Review by replacing the single Select checkbox with clearer Keep and Clean up choices.
  • Empty folders can now be explicitly kept or marked for cleanup, matching the other review screens.
  • Empty folder review choices are mutually exclusive, so a folder cannot be kept and marked for cleanup at the same time.

Fixes

  • Fixed an Analysis Dashboard issue where selecting the Duplicate cleanup candidates card could incorrectly change its count and reclaimable storage to 0.
  • The Duplicate cleanup candidates card now stays highlighted, keeps showing the correct duplicate cleanup totals, and can be clicked again to clear the filter.

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.6.0

Improvements

  • Improved media preview handling during file review.

Version 1.0.5.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.5.0

Released: 7 June 2026

This update improves the review, scan setup, dashboard, and Execute experience so it is clearer what Zenovix will do before anything is changed.

Improvements

  • The Execute area now uses clearer wording for reviewed cleanup actions, including recoverable archive, Recycle Bin, and permanent delete options. It is more obvious that nothing changes until the user starts the action, and that archive mode keeps recovery records for Recovery Centre.
  • Execution stages now use plain English status messages for preparing the reviewed plan, creating the archive, moving items, deleting items, verifying recovery records, and recording the final outcome.
  • Archive mode is presented more clearly as the recommended recoverable option. Recycle Bin and permanent delete modes now explain that they are not tracked in Zenovix Recovery Centre, with permanent delete clearly described as having no restorable copy.
  • Duplicate and empty folder review screens now explain what to do next in plain language, including when to select the next unreviewed group, when all visible groups are complete, and when decisions can still be changed before Execute.
  • The empty folder review area now uses clearer labels and descriptions for search, review state, bulk actions, folders in scope, and selected folder details.
  • Scan settings now better highlight exact matching as the recommended safest option. SHA-256 matching is labelled as the safest choice, and fuzzy matching options are described as optional advanced passes.
  • The scan progress bar now stays hidden when no scan is running, reducing visual noise on the main screen.

Fixes

  • Removed placeholder style text from the user interface, including internal wording such as Execute Stage, Not set, and placeholder review labels.
  • Replaced missing scan root placeholder text with clearer wording, including No scan root selected when no folder has been chosen.
  • Empty folder filters now show clearer messages, including when no folders match the current filters, how many folders are visible, and how many have already been reviewed.

Version 1.0.4.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.4.0

Released: 6 June 2026

Improvements

  • Review screens now use clearer cleanup wording instead of implying every action is an archive action.
  • The file review grid now focuses on the main choice: keep the item or mark it for cleanup.
  • Empty folder review actions have been simplified to reduce unnecessary buttons.
  • Archive, Recycle Bin, and permanent delete actions now use more direct labels before execution.
  • Recovery Centre preview controls have been tidied so restore and skip choices are easier to follow.

Fixes

  • Recycle Bin and permanent delete modes now use clearer warning and danger styling.

Version 1.0.3.0

Zenovix Storage Manager 1.0.3.0

Released: 4 June 2026

Improvements

  • Improved fuzzy matching duplicate metrics.
  • Improved the folder picker layout for easier folder selection.
  • Refined scan setup actions for a clearer scanning workflow.
  • Added pre-scan discovery progress so scan preparation is easier to follow.

Fixes

  • Restored the post-scan analysis prompt.
