SCSI support

[1ucay]

Please, can you add support for SCSI?

On my system I have 16 disc ( 14 SATA, 2 SAS )

Hi, It is highly unlikely that GSmartControl will support SCSI. The SCSI output of smartctl is very different from (S)ATA. At most, when smartctl fully supports JSON output for SCSI, GSmartControl can display that information in the GUI, which is marginally better than displaying the text above.

I download smartctl.exe from https://github.com/smartmontools/smartmontools/releases

PS C:\Program Files\smartmontools> smartctl.exe -j --all /dev/sdb
{
  "json_format_version": [
    1,
    0
  ],
  "smartctl": {
    "version": [
      7,
      2
    ],
    "svn_revision": "5155",
    "platform_info": "x86_64-w64-mingw32-w10-b22494",
    "build_info": "(sf-7.2-1)",
    "argv": [
      "smartctl",
      "-j",
      "--all",
      "/dev/sdb"
    ],
    "exit_status": 2
  },
  "device": {
    "name": "/dev/sdb",
    "info_name": "/dev/sdb",
    "type": "ata",
    "protocol": "ATA"
  }
}

which lead to "exit_status": 2 so, you can try invoke new call with "-d scsi"

For me is only importatnt smart_status and temperature. What do you think?

If GSmartControl is going to support it, it should support SCSI properly. Showing only 2 values doesn't make sense - you don't need GUI for that, you can easily extract that information using a script of some kind.

Ok nevermind :)
