Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2014 15:34:13 -0400 From: VOICE News Service Subject: [VOICENWS] SW: DFSee 12.1 released: EXFAT support, enhancements and fixes ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice dot org ++ From: jvwDESPAM at DESPAMdfsee dot com DFSee version 12.1 has been released, with new functionality and several fixes. It is a MINOR release, with support for the EXFAT filesystem as the main added feature, and several other small enhancements and fixes. EXFAT is a 32-bit FAT filesystem optimized for (very large) removable media like SD-cards used with cameras. It has an additional allocation-bitmap that avoids a lot of the normal overhead when writing contiguous files. It is now supported by Windows, OS-X and Linux, and is the recommended filesystem for SD-cards larger than 32Gb. DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning, filesystem and disk analysis, some file recovery and UNDELETE and smart imaging or cloning of partitions or complete disks.
