IsoBuster 5.8 changelog:
Changes / New:
- Support for "Advanced Forensic Format" (versions 1-3) (*.aff, *.afd, *.afm) (compressed (or not), but not encrypted). Needs a [Professional] license
- Support 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 data
- Historically, 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 files
- Ability to scan for all types of extensions [*.*] on recognized DVR HDDs via Ctrl+Shift+right-mouse-click
- Added 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 recordings
- Confirmed support for Panasonic DMR-BWT450GL and DMR-BWT955GL DV Recorders
- Show comments, stored per recording in the Panasonic MEIHDFS file system, in the status-bar, when the recording is selected
- Improvements in the search box to allow spaces in search queries where possible
- The search box now support rule "Sort:", to sort certain search terms
- Editing of editable files/folders shown in search results, is now possible
- A CD"s track mode, stored in a *.ibp, is overridden if the source CD reader made a mistake
- An MBR inside a partially overwritten Super-floppy VBR, is now detected, so that partitions can still be found
- Small improvements supporting the HFS and MFS file systems
- File-date and the file"s real name are now also stored in AppleSingle and AppleDouble files
- The installer now makes sure that W10 and W11 lists IsoBuster under "Apps", so that IsoBuster can easily be selected, to associate with an extension
- Support 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 applied
- Reduced ListView-Header flicker when a theme is applied
- Reduced flicker when the Options dialog is shown (mostly visible when a Dark Style is active)
- Improved Breadcrumbs style (when hovered over) on Windows 11
- Automatic collapsing of the TreeView nodes can be disabled in Options
- Preview is now enabled for *.m4v and *.m2ps
- Plenty of other tweaks and improvements, lots of changes under the hood
Fixes:
