# Disk Activity Monitor v1.4.14

Compare: [`v1.4.13...v1.4.14`](https://github.com/andrewtheart/DiskActivityMonitor/compare/v1.4.13...v1.4.14) (head `69e5502`)

## What's changed

### Features
- **Total-written trend chart** in the tray dashboard, backed by a new `TotalWrittenChart` control and trend calculations in `Trends.cs` / `MonitorRepository.cs` (`616f9d6`).
- **All-disk aggregation mode**, so activity can be viewed across every monitored disk instead of one at a time (`616f9d6`).
- **Chart hover tooltips** via a new `ChartHoverTooltip` control, wired into the bar, pie, and live disk charts (`616f9d6`).
- New chart appearance and trend-range options persisted through `AppConfig`, `ConfigStore`, and `UserSettingsStore` (`616f9d6`, `5e4b161`).

### Documentation
- README rewritten with an enhanced dashboard description, plus a new dashboard screenshot capture skill and script (`.github/skills/dam-dashboard-screenshot/`) and a refreshed `assets/dashboard-overview.png` (`09dc1fc`).
- `HELP.md` and the in-app `HELP.html` now document trend ranges, all-disk mode, and chart appearance options (`5e4b161`).

### Tests
- New and expanded coverage for total-written trends, chart controls, alert engine, CLI, lifecycle entry points, local time display, main window, monitor repository, and user settings (`12c94bd`).

### Build
- Inno Setup installer script updated for the current release payload (`69e5502`).

## Installation

Self-contained installers (no separate .NET runtime required) are published as GitHub Release assets:

| Architecture | Installer |
|---|---|
| **x64** (64-bit Intel/AMD) | `DiskActivityMonitor-Setup-1.4.14-x64.exe` |
| **x86** (32-bit) | `DiskActivityMonitor-Setup-1.4.14-x86.exe` |

Download the installer for your architecture from the [v1.4.14 release](https://github.com/andrewtheart/DiskActivityMonitor/releases/tag/v1.4.14) and run it elevated (setup requires administrator privileges).

The installer registers the **DiskActivityMonitor** Windows Service (auto-start), adds a Start Menu shortcut, and optionally creates a startup entry so the tray dashboard launches at sign-in. When upgrading, setup asks whether to keep your existing settings and monitoring database.

**Requirements:** Windows 10 or Windows 11.
