Newsdetails

DFSee version 14.6 has been released.

MINOR release, meaning you get it for FREE if you have a 14.x key already.
However, thare are some pretty MAJOR new features and bug fixes:

- NEW bootable USB stick based on PUPPY Linux with integrated DFSee

- Creation of the DFSPUPPY bootable USB stick directly from the Scripts menu

- Mouse support has been extended to the Linux amd macOS versions

- Your existing registration key is transferred to the created stick
(with no key, you will end up with a time limited evaluation key)

- DFSee resize/redraw on first keypress or mouseclick after window resize
(on Linux or macOS, since they have dynamically sized terminal windows)

See the screenshots and additional info at:

Feedback about the new bootable stick is appreciated!

- Mouse support is enhanced with several new features that make life easier:

- Switch between [Basic] and [Expert] by clicking the menubar indicator

- Button1 DRAG in a selection-list (Browser) to mark a range of files

- Button-3 click (usually scroll-wheel) to show context sensitive HELP

- Ctrl-click to close a (HELP) text window or a dialog window

- Ctrl-click on the commandline area to exit the program

- Scroll text windows and selection lists using the scroll-wheel

- Scroll the text output window using a 'scrollbar' area at right border

Note: Still NO mouse support in the Linux console, only X terminals

DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning,
smart imaging or cloning of partitions or complete disks,
filesystem and disk analysis, directory/file browsing with
edit/view/copy capabilities including limited UNDELETE.
