Nieuws details

DFSee version 15.3 has been released.

MINOR release, meaning you get it for FREE if you have a 15.x key already.

It has nice improvements in several areas:

- Binary-File/Sector HEX-editor, hexdump to clipboard
- Directory/File BROWSER, select only files modified AFTER ...
- Menu system, disable several items when not relevant/possible
- FAT(32) contiguous file recovery from media like camera SD-cards
- GPT, added new symbolic types for CR and the GPT-edit dialog
- PART, removed obsolete INT13 linit warnings, made CHS ones MINOR
resulting in most systems showing NO warnings anymore by default

As usual there are also several minor problem fixes and enhancements.
For details, see below.

Note: Version 14.8 (or later) users can update directly using the menu:

Help->
Program Updates / Downloads ->
Get latest STABLE update

(Works with the OS/2, Windows, Linux and macOS versions, if WGET is there)

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.
