MINOR release, meaning you get it for FREE if you have a 15.x key already. Introduces DISK IDENTIFICATION strings, used with the 'media' and 'disklist' commands as well as in the description on all disk-selection menus/lists. This shows the disk brand/type and possibly other info as known by the opeating system and avoids picking the wrong disk for an operation. It has other nice improvements in several other areas too: - Automatic default 'single file' or multiple-files' in the IMAGE dialog based on target filesystem (FAT and HPFS multiple, rest single-file) - Current DATE appended to log filenames, using trailing '~' character - A specific PROFILE script filename can be specified on startup - Entryfields default to OVERWRITE mode for small fields, INSERT on others and typing inside a 'marked' area in the fields erases that mark first 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, HEX/binary disk or file editing, filesystem and disk analysis, directory/file browsing with edit/view/copy capabilities and much more ...
