I have recently had a virtual Network Adaptor added on my PC. As it is a different network adaptor, it isn't scanned during the regular scan.

Would it be possible to scan all network adaptors (together, at one time), rather than select one adaptor to be scanned?

It probably wouldn't make much sense to scan a virtual adapter since it's part of a virtual network (virtual machines or similar running on your PC), so there wouldn't be any rogue devices to discover.

However, if you still wish to scan it, you can simply specify your desired network ranges in Settings:

Ah, another undocumented feature. I note that both the heading and example are singular, without any information about the syntax required for listing multiple address ranges.

In the future, perhaps Classless Inter-Domain Routing notation (192.168.0.1/23) could be used as well?

We've added CIDR support and a usage example hint in the latest builds:
