DiskMan

DiskMan is a modern, cross-platform graphical disk and partition management tool inspired by EaseUS Partition Master, built with Python and PyQt5.

---

✨ Features

• Visual Disk Layout: Interactive, graphical representation of disks and partitions.
• Partition Operations: Clone, resize, move, delete, format, label, check, and defragment partitions.
• Custom UI: Modern sidebar navigation, custom icons, and themed dialogs.
• Status & Progress: Real-time feedback and progress bars for long-running operations.
• Cross-Platform: Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS (where supported).
• Safe Operations: Most actions are previewed and require confirmation before execution.
• Extensible: Modular codebase for adding new disk utilities or UI features.
• Partition Table Support: GPT and MBR partition tables.
• File System Support: Ext4, NTFS, FAT32, and more.

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7 or newer
• PyQt5
• (Optional) psutil for advanced disk info

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/diskman.git
   cd diskman

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

   Or manually:

   pip install PyQt5 psutil

---

🏁 Usage

Run the Application

python -m ui.main_window

Or, if you have an entry script:

python main.py

Command Line Options

• --debug : Enable debug logging
• --safe : Run in safe mode (no write operations)

Example:

python main.py --debug --safe

🧩 Extending DiskMan

• Add a new operation:
  Implement the logic in disk_utils.py and add a button in main_window.py.
• Customize the UI:
  Modify or extend widgets in the ui/ directory.
• Localization:
  Add translation files and use Qt's translation features.

Core Operation Features

• CreatePartitionOperation: validates disk/size/filesystem inputs and simulates create + format pipeline.
• ResizePartitionOperation: validates target changes (new_size/new_start) and simulates resize/move checks.
• DeletePartitionOperation: validates partition identity and simulates safe delete stages.
• FormatPartitionOperation: validates filesystem target and simulates format flow with cancellation support.
• CloneDiskOperation: validates source/target disks and simulates chunked cloning with progress updates.
• ConvertDiskOperation: validates MBR/GPT target and simulates conversion checkpoints.
• WipeDiskOperation: validates wipe mode/passes and simulates quick/full wipe progress.
• OperationService: maps UI intents to operation objects, executes queue, and enforces safe-mode blocks.

🧪 Testing

Run all tests with:

python -m unittest discover tests

🔄 Debug + Feature Workflow

1. Start in safe mode while iterating on UI/backend operation wiring:

   python main.py --debug --safe

2. Queue operations from the Disk Management page and use Apply Operations to execute through the backend operation service.
3. Confirm progress/status messages in the status bar and verify safe mode blocks destructive operations (Format/Delete).
4. Run tests before switching off safe mode:

   python -m unittest discover tests
