#52 Dynamic sensor detection at runtime as well as startup
Hi,
when adding a disk and restarting hddtemp with the new disk the sensors applet doesn't notice this. To enable the new disk the applet needs to be deleted and added anew.
A better situation would be if the applet added the new disk automatically to the available list.
Thanks,

The current design of sensors-applet only allows sensors to be detected on startup - if you log out and log back in the new sensor should be detected without any need to delete the applet. I am considering a re-write of sensors-applet and dynamic detection of new sensors could become part of a future version.
Instead of having to log out and log back in again, you could also run from the terminal
killall sensors-applet
Then you should be presented with a dialog asking if you want to restart sensors-applet - this should then restart with all your previously saved sensors, plus it should detect any new ones as well, without having to log out and log back in again.
