What's new in version 9.18:

  • Added support of 'data entropy' map:
    - In disk imager, added possibility to save 'data entropy' map during imaging (low and high resolution);
    - Added option for visualization of entropy map during imaging (with synchronization to imaging and to map of defects);
    - Added possibility to visualize saved 'data entropy' map via 'Enable a block status map' tool;
  • In map visualization GUI:
    - Added possibility to change dynamically the size of grid cells;
    - Added support of statistics on 'data entropy' map;
  • In RAID builder:
    - In context menu of selected set, added 'To a new RAID' tool to create a RAID on a subset;
    - Added also comparison of selected items via 'Compare storages' context menu option;
  • Added support of multi-volume configurations of very old Drobo DAS devices;
  • In disk imager:
    - Changed two-pass imaging to multi-pass imaging by adding optional one or two pre-imaging stages (with no retries on defects);
    - Added optional pre-imaging stage 0 - to quickly skips slow and damaged areas for fast imaging of 'healthy' areas;
    - Added one more pre-imaging stage to run on slow areas and to skip areas with defects (postpone them to the 'normal' stage);
    - Added possibility to override number of retries and read timeout for the final imaging stage;
  • Built-in viewer now supports displaying the contents of certain archive file formats:
    - Added support of Zip, TAR, GZip and BZip2 archive container formats (including .tar.gz, .tar.bz2);
    - Added content decompression for Deflate, Deflate64, BZip2, LZX, LZMS, LZMA, MS XPress and plain content streams;
    - Added limited support of Windows IMage (WIM) file format (only individual files in current format);
    - Support of preview of contained files;
  • In 'file search' result: added missing color and file status indication;
  • Added displaying of the number of files in scan result folders;
  • Disabled the indication of the folder metadata size (to avoid confusion with the size of contained files);
    - Added possibility to re-enable this function in the software settings;
  • Fixed issue displaying color progressive (one scan per component) JPEG images as greyscale;
  • Reworked support of ISO9660 file system.
