Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2018 04:09:16 -0400 From: Subject: [VOICENWS] SW: DFSee 15.2 released; more mouse/clipboard support ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice dot org ++ From: jvwDESPAM at DESPAMdfsee dot com DFSee version 15.2 has been released. MINOR release, meaning you get it for FREE if you have a 15.x key already. However, it is a rather major update for user-interface in regard to mouse-marking and full clipboard support on all platforms. For example: - Simply use Ctrl-V to paste a (full path and) filename into a the file dialog - Copy contents from a DFSee entryfield with Ctrl-C, paste to another with Ctrl-V - Mark a range of bytes in the HEX-editor, and paste it into another sector - Mark an area in the output-window with Ctrl-C, then paste it into a support email - Mark part of a message window (or use Ctrl+A for ALL), copy it to the clipboard with Ctrl-C, then paste it into an email or text document Note: Keyboard alternative keys like Alt-C/Alt-V and mouse like Ctrl-Click/Alt-Click are available for clipboard support as well, see the help pages for details. (for example: press 3 times, and page-down to item #100) As usual there are also several minor problem fixes and enhancements, like a new option on the GPT command to change the partition name and an improved FINDMFT/FIXBOOT for NTFS recovery. 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.
