# QDiskInfo
QDiskInfo is a frontend for smartctl (part of the smartmontools package). It provides a user experience similar to CrystalDiskInfo. It shows the SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) data of modern hard disk drives.
The icon is a modified version of the KDE Partition Manager logo which is available under GPL-3.0+.

## Compiling and Installing
### Compilation and Runtime Dependencies
Ubuntu and based distros (Mint, Pop!_OS, etc.)
```sh
sudo apt install build-essential cmake git libgl1-mesa-dev libxkbcommon-dev qt6-base-dev qt6-tools-dev qt6-wayland smartmontools
```
Fedora and derivatives (Nobara Project, etc.)
```
sudo dnf install cmake git mesa-libGL-devel libxkbcommon-devel qt6-qtbase-devel qt6-qttools-devel qt6-qtwayland-devel smartmontools
```
### Compilation Steps
First you will need to clone the repository and cd inside
```sh
git clone https://github.com/edisionnano/QDiskInfo.git && cd QDiskInfo
```
Then you must create a build directory and cd inside
```sh
mkdir build && cd build
```
After that use CMake to setup the project. Qt version can also be set to 5 (for example for Ubuntu), translations can also be disabled if you don't want to install the required tools package
```sh
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=MinSizeRel -DQT_VERSION_MAJOR=6 -DENABLE_TRANSLATIONS=ON
```
Finally, compile the project with all the threads using
```sh
make -j$(nproc)
```
This will create a `QDiskInfo` binary on the build directory but you can also install it using
```sh
sudo make install
```
## Localisation
Currently, QDiskInfo has support for the following languages:
- 🌐 English (C)
- 🇬🇷 Greek (el_GR)
- 🇪🇸 Spanish (es_ES)
- 🇧🇷 Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR)
- 🇨🇳 Simplified Chinese (zh_CN)
You can translate QDiskInfo to your language very easily using [Crowdin](https://crowdin.com/project/qdiskinfo). If your language isn't available on Crowdin, feel free to create a new issue.
Alternatively you can copy the qdiskinfo_en_US.ts, which can be found inside the translations folder, to the locale you want. For example to qdiskinfo_de_DE.ts for German. Then you can use the QT Linguist application to translate the strings, marking every finished one with a tick. Compile the project with `-DENABLE_TRANSLATIONS=ON` to test your translation.
If your system language differs from the one you are translating to, you can use
```sh
LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 ./QDiskInfo
```
to force the app to use the language of your choice.
If changes were made to the original strings you can use the `lupdate` command to update the .ts files, for example to update the German translation file you would run
```sh
lupdate src/ -ts translations/qdiskinfo_de_DE.ts -noobsolete
```
## Using CrystalDiskInfo Anime Themes
The process is similar to the one above with a few changes:
First you must download the edition of CrystalDiskInfo you want (Aoi for example) in ZIP format from [here](https://crystalmark.info/en/download/), from this archive you shall copy the light and dark backgrounds as well as the good, caution, bad, unknown icons to dist/theme with the same name as the templates there.
Once you do that compile like above but when running CMake do this instead:
```sh
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=MinSizeRel -DQT_VERSION_MAJOR=6 -DINCLUDE_OPTIONAL_RESOURCES=ON -DCHARACTER_IS_RIGHT=ON -DENABLE_TRANSLATIONS=ON
```
Regarding the `-DCHARACTER_IS_RIGHT` set it to ON for themes where the character is right (like Aoi) or OFF for most other themes.
