What's New in This Release:
Changes:
· - IsoBuster splash screen, which will stick until the main window is loaded,
· which can take a while sometimes when a drive is just mounting a 'difficult' disc and is not responding to commands immediately.
· - IsoBuster theme in About box.
· - Various icon improvements.
· - Added option to the GUI (in Options) for administrators to grant low level access to storage devices for other users on the system.
· - An object selection is now also available and accessible via the Main Window (File / Selected Object(s))
· - Multi-language support in the installer itself.
· - Shift+F10 and context menu (between Alt Gr and Ctrl on the right) button click implemented.
· - *.NCD (or subsets of *.NCD) image file support.
· - The multi-extent icon next to a file or folder is *not* shown anymore by default, after a fresh install,
· to avoid confusion, set it in the options if required.
Improvements:
· - Updated some of the auto recognizing features for Movie DVDs.
· - Changed the more-sessions-in-one-track interpreter to also be able to deal with Nero Cmd made discs
· (they don't have the typical Nero signature)
· - Work-around for a particular drive problem (DL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8163B, or possibly a generation of drives) which caused DVD(+R/W) media not to be mounted OK.
· Tracks and Sessions were not always correctly identified.
· - Improvement to match IBP/IBQ managed image files to actual CDs in certain drives better, has to do with reserved tracks.
· - Load read-only (write protect) IBP/IBQ files but put up a dialog warning for the user and allow him/her to unload the image again.
· - Addded a dialog for when the IsoBuster.exe has been changed, to warn the user that there might be a virus on the system.
· - Filter and replace illegal characters in file names before extraction for all file-systems, not just only for HFS.
· - Various internal improvements, staying up to date with drive evolutions.
·
· Fixes:
·
· - Fixed some minor GUI related issues. You probably never noticed.
· - Fixed a rare situation where IB could run into an exception error when there is NO file-system layout on the disc.
· - Fixed small bug in the HFS file-extension recognition. Not all known extensions were actually assigned.
· - Fixed that some files, extracted via the Mac HFS+ file system, were 2KB too large.
· For most files this is no problem, but for text files some editors would display the extra rubbish at the end
· which is potentionally annoying.
