I think it would be useful to click on "battery heath" that is, below the "100%" button on the main window and open a generated windows battery report usnig the powercfg /batteryreport (cmd) command, the output could be saved on the GHelper folder using /output and then opened using the default html viewer.

I'd like to do it myself, but I still lack C# knowledge, so I'll stick to translations. I've watched this project grow almost from the beginning, I'm amazed at how far it's come. Thanks developers!

Describe the solution you'd like

Clicking on "battery status", i.e. below the "100%" button in the main window, should open a generated Windows battery report saved in the GHelper folder within AppData.

Newly generated battery reports should replace previous ones or include the date and time in the name.

@marcelomijas hello, that's a good idea. I was thinking about something like that as well.

This build should do the thing (and also open report in browser)

GHelper.zip

@seerge hi. I just tested it. It works like a charm! Thanks!

[seerge]

Great

@seerge Should that already work in the latest build I got for the HDR testing?

powercfg /batteryreport normally saves in C:\Users\myusername\battery-report.html

When I click on battery health, G-Helper opens the Windows Explorer with C:\Users\myusername\Documents, but there is no battery-report.html. It isnt in %Appdata%\GHelper nor the installation directory of GHelper either. Where does it save that thing?

[seerge]

@Sontarr can you check in a log where powercfg saved report ?

[Sontarr]

🤦‍♂️ Of course....

Okaaay... thats the very full log where it failed:
log.txt

I then closed GHelper, deleted the logfile, opened GHelper again - and now it works:
log1.txt

[seerge]

@Sontarr oke, by some reason it was trying to open "C:\Windows\system32\battery-report.html" gespeichert.", even tho it's not set anywhere . It generally supposed to create report from same directory where you run app.

[seerge]

@Sontarr @marcelomijas

This build should explicitly generate report in user home directory (no matter from where you run app itself)

log.txt

battery health report not saving, also its opening the document folder rather than the home (also not found in document folder).

[seerge]

@mjishnu try this build

GHelper.zip

@mjishnu try this build

GHelper.zip

works correctly now. btw in my opinion rather than storing in home it would be better to store in document folder as its far more easy to access

[seerge]

@mjishnu i guess it's fine as is :) as home is always writeable at least
