Software-update: IsoBuster 5.8

Smart Projects heeft IsoBuster versie 5.8 uitgebracht. Dit programma is gespecialiseerd in het lezen van slechte of beschadigde externe opslagmedia, zoals cd's, dvd's, harde schijven, USB-sticks en geheugenkaartjes, en kan in veel gevallen nog bestanden terughalen die door Windows niet meer worden herkend. Een ander sterk punt van IsoBuster is dat het bijna elk denkbaar cd- of dvd-image-formaat kan lezen, waaronder *.iso, *.bin, *.img, *.ccd en *.nrg. Het programma is gedeeltelijk gratis, echter de meeste geavanceerde features zijn alleen voor betalende gebruikers toegankelijk. Welke dat precies zijn, is op deze pagina te vinden. In deze uitgave zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:

Changes / New:

Support for 'Advanced Forensic Format' (versions 1-3) (*.aff, *.afd, *.afm) (compressed (or not), but not encrypted). Needs a [Professional] licenseSupport for Panasonic DV Recorders with a high volume of recordings (thousands), for instance on large external HDDs (e.g. 2TB)Support for Vineyard (IVR-Q8) CCTV-formatted hard drives, enabling extraction of *.mcg files for access to video streams.

Improvements:

Greatly improved detection of files based on their signature (better detection of already supported files, inclusion of new files and less false positives)When *.mp3 files are detected via their signature, they get a filename based on their ID3 meta dataHistorically, when a DVR HDD is recognized, a scan for missing files and folders only looks for VOB/Mpeg files (to avoid clutter and false positives). This has been extended to also include *.mp3, *.wav and *.jpg filesAbility to scan for all types of extensions [*.*] on recognized DVR HDDs via Ctrl+Shift+right-mouse-clickAdded detection for a bunch of raw camera picture formats (*.raf, *.x3f, *.gpr, *.3fr, *.iiq, *.mos, *.erf, *.bay, *.mef, *.mrw, *.cr2, *.sr2, *.arw, *.orf, *.nef, *.pef, *.srw, *.iiq, *.rw2, *.kdc, ..)Improved parsing DVD-VR discs to show all recordingsConfirmed support for Panasonic DMR-BWT450GL and DMR-BWT955GL DV RecordersShow comments, stored per recording in the Panasonic MEIHDFS file system, in the status-bar, when the recording is selectedImprovements in the search box to allow spaces in search queries where possibleThe search box now support rule 'Sort:', to sort certain search termsEditing of editable files/folders shown in search results, is now possibleA CD's track mode, stored in a *.ibp, is overridden if the source CD reader made a mistakeAn MBR inside a partially overwritten Super-floppy VBR, is now detected, so that partitions can still be foundSmall improvements supporting the HFS and MFS file systemsFile-date and the file's real name are now also stored in AppleSingle and AppleDouble filesThe installer now makes sure that W10 and W11 lists IsoBuster under 'Apps', so that IsoBuster can easily be selected, to associate with an extensionSupport for corrupted (long defunct ReQuest-made) ISO files (often accompanied by a *.rqv file (which is ignored))Reduced StatusBar flicker when a Dark theme is appliedReduced ListView-Header flicker when a theme is appliedReduced flicker when the Options dialog is shown (mostly visible when a Dark Style is active)Improved Breadcrumbs style (when hovered over) on Windows 11Automatic collapsing of the TreeView nodes can be disabled in OptionsPreview is now enabled for *.m4v and *.m2psPlenty of other tweaks and improvements, lots of changes under the hood
