It would be nice if there was a context option in DrivePool for a particular drive to "open in Scanner". I often find myself hovering over a disk in DP to note the model and disk serial number, and then trying to find that drive in Scanner. If there was a way to directly jump from one to the other it would be a nice convenience.
Another UI-integration thing that would be useful would be if DrivePool reflected any 'custom names' I set for a disk in Scanner. In Scanner, I will change disk names to stuff like "DAMAGED. Not in Pool. Ready for removal." (because I often evacuate disks remotely, and I'm lazy and don't always get around to physically pulling the disks for some time). In Drivepool, I don't see those custom names when I hover over disks, and it would be helpful if I could.
Finally, along the line of being lazy, it would be nice if there was an option in Scanner to "never warn for this disk again". Ie, to instruct Scanner that I know that a drive is wrecked, and to mark it as such, and not warn me about it again. There are options to "not scan" a disk, but in the popup Scanner smart status warnings, the only option seems to be to "never warn me about disks with unreadable data". I do want to be warned, though - just not about that particular disk.
