Hi,
I've recently dumped Acronis and started using MR for my PC at home. I like the detail that is provided in the log, but wish it could be enhanced with the addition of some simple graphs that show the relative size of my partitions and the usage of those partitions. I've included an image that I've mocked up to show you what I have in mind.

You obviously put some effort into making a really neat mockup, John.  I'm not sure that it actually adds anything from a purely informational perspective, but I'd upvote the suggestion based on appearance alone which can often be a plus from a marketing POV for those who may care about such things. Smile

You're quite correct, it doesn't add any new information, but what it would do is present the information that's already there in a different manner that is, for me at least, more easily digested.
I routinely scan through my logs when they arrive, and mostly I just want to know that my system data is safe and protected and there's nothing for me to worry about.
Most of the time I don't actually care about the specific numbers but would be interested to know whether any particular partition is filling up. I'm lazy ;-) and don't want to scan each line of text to find the partition size, used space and free space, check the units and then do the mental calculation as to how full it is, when simply adding some appropriately sized coloured rectangles would tell me what I want to know almost instantly :-)
