IP-Scanner 2.6

Windows network scanner (C# WPF, .NET 8) — single self-contained exe, no install needed.

Graphs everywhere and a silky-smooth UI. Full history in CHANGELOG.md.

Added

• Up to ten latency graphs: + adds another one with its own device selector, X removes it; pinned devices sort to the top
• Per-network mini graph under every network overview (toggle in the new Graphs settings)
• Time markers under all graphs (1m, 2m, ... — finer steps for short windows)

Changed

• Logo animation runs on its own render thread, graph math on a worker thread — no stutter even under heavy scan load
• Paths inside the program folder show and store Windows-style (.\scanner.db); database and configuration default to the exe folder, existing installs keep their locations
• Configuration-file setting shows the full file path with a file picker
• Badge and bubble texts switch to white automatically on dark colors
• Resetting the settings needs a second click on a red confirm button

Fixed

• Graph lines no longer cut through the min/max labels
• Pin icon reliably turns red on hover; unpin is one click, pinning a double-click on the IP

Notes

• Self-contained: just run IP-Scanner.exe
• Scan reports, database and config stay local next to the app

IP-Scanner 2.5

Windows network scanner (C# WPF, .NET 8) — single self-contained exe, no install needed.

Big usability release. Full history in CHANGELOG.md.

Added

• Language switches instantly — no restart anymore
• Known devices appear the moment a scan starts, with stored hostname and MAC; live results replace them during the run
• Devices that just dropped offline get five quick follow-up pings, so short dropouts recover within seconds
• Pin/unpin straight from the table (double-click an IP to pin, hover the pin for a red X to unpin) — stays in sync with the settings
• Subnets, pinned IPs and internet hosts managed as colored bubbles with optional name and color; double-click a bubble to edit
• Pinned-IP colors show as group colors; double-click a group square for a color picker with the current color preselected
• Hostname editing in a column-wide popup, X restores the automatic name
• Latency history graphs with device selector, time markers and configurable window (new "Graphs" settings section); internet panel gained a totals row and its own graph
• Old config and database files upgrade automatically at startup
• Folder button to open the scans folder; configurable location for the configuration file

Changed

• Offline recheck default 5 s, startup scan pings 10
• App file is about 8 MB smaller
• Errors are logged to error.log next to the app

Fixed

• "Scan-Fehler" dialog when opening the settings during a scan
• Path fields created folders while typing and reset the cursor
• Toggling TXT/CSV export reset the selected ping count

Notes

• Self-contained: just run IP-Scanner.exe
• Scan reports, database and config stay local in your scans folder

IP-Scanner 2.4

Windows network scanner (C# WPF, .NET 8) — single self-contained exe, no install needed.

Stability and cleanup release. Full history in CHANGELOG.md.

Fixed

• The app could close without any message when pressing Stop — it now stays open and shows an error dialog instead
• CSV exports broke when a device name contained a comma or quote; fields are now quoted properly (opens cleanly in Excel)
• A damaged config file could crash the app at startup; bad values now fall back to defaults
• Network cards without a name no longer show up as "eth0"

Changed

• Consistent number format for all latency values (table, sidebar, totals), following your Windows region settings
• File dialogs and the last remaining texts fully translated (DE/EN)
• Internal cleanup: shared formatting helper, named constants instead of magic numbers, hardened mDNS packet parsing

Notes

• Self-contained: just run IP-Scanner.exe
• Scan reports, database and config stay local in your scans folder

IP-Scanner 2.3

Windows network scanner (C# WPF, .NET 8) — single self-contained exe, no install needed.

Highlights

• Two-phase scan: instant discovery sweep, devices start their ping run the moment they answer
• Offline IPs are rechecked during the run and join automatically when they come online
• Hostname/MAC resolution over four techniques in parallel (ARP, reverse DNS, mDNS, NetBIOS) — first result shows immediately, better ones replace it
• Latency table with min/avg/max/last, heatmap colors, best/worst markers and a live totals row
• Internet latency panel with per-host avg/min/max/last
• Device grouping by vendor and hostname prefix, gateway brand colors (UniFi/Fritz)
• Multiple subnets per run, pinned IPs, known-devices database (SQLite) with merge between instances
• TXT/CSV reports (toggles in the sidebar), settings persist next to the database
• German/English UI (auto-detected, switchable), adjustable text size, customizable bar colors
• Animated logo with spin speed tied to the thread count

Notes

• Self-contained: just run IP-Scanner.exe
• Scan reports, database and config stay local in your scans folder
• The screenshot shows synthetic sample data, not a real network
