MiniTool ShadowMaker 4.6 adds customizable task names for backup and sync tasks, improves disk space display and installation language recognition, and fixes several known issues.

MiniTool has released MiniTool ShadowMaker 4.6, an update to its backup software. The new version introduces task name customization, improves the Backup, Sync, and Home pages, and addresses several known issues for a smoother backup experience.

What’s New in MiniTool ShadowMaker 4.6

Customize Backup and Sync Task Names

MiniTool ShadowMaker 4.6 now allows users to modify the default task name when creating a backup or sync task. If users do not enter a custom name, the software automatically adds a timestamp to the default task name.

Custom names make it easier to identify and navigate to specific tasks on the Manage page, especially when multiple backup or sync tasks are created.

Improved Disk Space Display

The Home page now uses blue to represent used disk space and grey for free space. The updated colors more closely match the drive space bar used in Windows 10 and Windows 11, making the disk space information more familiar at a glance.

Fixed JavaScript Script Errors

MiniTool ShadowMaker 4.6 fixes a random JavaScript script error that could cause pop-up messages while the software was running. The fix reduces interruptions during normal use.

Improved Registration Status

The update also addresses an issue where the registration status shown for the Data Backup feature in MiniTool Partition Wizard could become inconsistent with the registration status in MiniTool ShadowMaker.

Improved Japanese Translation

Based on user feedback, MiniTool has refined some expressions in the Japanese edition of ShadowMaker to provide more natural translations.

Better Language Recognition During Installation

MiniTool ShadowMaker 4.6 improves language recognition in its online installation package. The installer can now better identify the Windows language during installation, addressing an issue that could occur in previous versions.
