IsoBuster 5.8 Released!

I'm very happy to announce the release of IsoBuster 5.8.

See the list below for all the goodies:

Changes / New:

• Support for 'Advanced Forensic Format' (versions 1-3) (*.aff, *.afd, *.afm) (compressed (or not), but not encrypted). Needs a [Professional] license
• Support for Panasonic DV Recorders with a high volume of recordings (thousands), for instance on large external HDDs (e.g. 2TB)
• Support for Vineyard (IVR-Q8) CCTV-formatted hard drives, enabling extraction of *.mcg files for access to video streams.

Improvements:

• Greatly improved detection of files based on their signature (better detection of already supported files, inclusion of new files and less false positives)
• When *.mp3 files are detected via their signature, they get a filename based on their ID3 meta data
• Historically, when a DVR HDD is recognized, a scan for missing files and folders only looks for VOB/Mpeg files (to avoid clutter and false positives). This has been extended to also include *.mp3, *.wav and *.jpg files
• Ability to scan for all types of extensions [*.*] on recognized DVR HDDs via Ctrl+Shift+right-mouse-click
• Added detection for a bunch of raw camera picture formats (*.raf, *.x3f, *.gpr, *.3fr, *.iiq, *.mos, *.erf, *.bay, *.mef, *.mrw, *.cr2, *.sr2, *.arw, *.orf, *.nef, *.pef, *.srw, *.iiq, *.rw2, *.kdc, ..)
• Improved parsing DVD-VR discs to show all recordings
• Confirmed support for Panasonic DMR-BWT450GL and DMR-BWT955GL DV Recorders
• Show comments, stored per recording in the Panasonic MEIHDFS file system, in the status-bar, when the recording is selected
• Improvements in the search box to allow spaces in search queries where possible
• The search box now support rule 'Sort:', to sort certain search terms
• Editing of editable files/folders shown in search results, is now possible
• A CD's track mode, stored in a *.ibp, is overridden if the source CD reader made a mistake
• An MBR inside a partially overwritten Super-floppy VBR, is now detected, so that partitions can still be found
• Small improvements supporting the HFS and MFS file systems
• File-date and the file's real name are now also stored in AppleSingle and AppleDouble files
• The installer now makes sure that W10 and W11 lists IsoBuster under 'Apps', so that IsoBuster can easily be selected, to associate with an extension
• Support for corrupted (long defunct ReQuest-made) ISO files (often accompanied by a *.rqv file (which is ignored))
• Reduced StatusBar flicker when a Dark theme is applied
• Reduced ListView-Header flicker when a theme is applied
• Reduced flicker when the Options dialog is shown (mostly visible when a Dark Style is active)
• Improved Breadcrumbs style (when hovered over) on Windows 11
• Automatic collapsing of the TreeView nodes can be disabled in Options
• Preview is now enabled for *.m4v and *.m2ps
• Plenty of other tweaks and improvements, lots of changes under the hood

Fixes:

• Fixed performing a surface scan [From-To] in "Read Reverse" mode. It would mistakenly read forward, starting from the end
