https://www.isobuster.com/news/isobuster...ease_notes IsoBuster 3.9 Released!
December 19, 2016
I'm very happy to announce the release of IsoBuster 3.9.
From this version onwards you can define your own file signatures, and look for them on any type media via a search for missing files and folders. For instance if you have a special type or custom file you want to look for, or for a whole lot of other engineering purposes of course.
There is now also full support for compressed system files in NTFS volumes. This is different from the normally (and already supported) compressed files. It's a new feature introduced by Microsoft since Windows 10.
And last but not least the software can now make full copies or clones of hard drives and partitions. In other words, extract directly to HD rather than to a file. Combined with the 'Managed' image file functionality it is also possible to keep track of all the bad or unread sectors when making the clone. This is ideal for recovery specialists that can try to recover a HD directly to another HD. Another great use for this feature is the possibility to load an image file for a hard drive or USB stick (e.g. DSK or VHD / VHDX or VMDK or ..) , and put (clone) its content directly to a real Hard Drive or USB stick.
Here's a list of all the goodies:
Changes / New:
You can now define your own rules/signatures for finding files based on their signature [Professional license]
Added support for Windows 10 transparent system compressed NTFS files
Added a WIM Tab to NTFS File properties, when the file is actually stored in a WIM [Professional license]
Clone an entire drive (partitions and all) or a single partition, to another Hard Drive or partition
Perform a so called 'Managed' Clone of a drive (partitions and all) to another Hard Drive. This is the same as making a managed IBP but the IBQ is written to a source Hard Disk instead of a file [Professional license]
Support for the Opera 3DO file system
Support for B6T and B6I image files
Clicking an address in the Properties window launches Sector View, showing the content of that address
From-To dialog (If set via Options) when doing a surface scan
From-To dialog (If set via Options) when doing a scan for missing files and folders [Professional license]
From-To dialog (If set via Options) when creating a list of erroneous sectors
/eto: command line parameter that takes a value in milliseconds as time out during extraction
Improvements:
Improved sector view and edit window's functionality to stay on top
On a Sparse object, SectorView shows all zeroes and the text 'Sparse' but when the edit box or scroll buttons are used, the address changes and that content should be shown (which now happens)
Show End-address when a surface scan was interrupted (if From-To dialog was used)
Display the MFT LBA rather than the timezone, in properties, because there is no timezone field in NTFS anyway
Display the FAT address in FAT file system Properties
Improved the default settings wrt auto-scanning and exploring a file system completely
Improved the dialog after an interrupted file-system expansion, to take in account folder-per-folder browsing
Extended /ei: command line parameter to also make a (managed) clone
Extended /t: command line parameter to support /t:audio and /t:data to extract all audio or all data tracks
Extended /range: command line parameter to also work during extraction of image files, scan for missing files and folders, ...
Extended /fromto: command line parameter to also work during extraction of image files, scan for missing files and folders, ...
Improved command line parameter /d:: to also fully support Physical Drive ID's higher than 9
Make sure certain @... commands via the GUI command line can still be executed when no drives are found
Added PIONEER as DVD Video recorder application - to automatically look for DVD Video
Small cosmetic change (not perfect) to avoid previous small file's name to be displayed during huge file extraction
A few improvements, changes and re-writes in the core code / engine, as this is a living project and to deal with the ever growing new functionality
Various other, not listed, GUI improvements
Fixes:
If the IBP/IBQ Complete OnDemand Mode was turned on and next turned off again before closing the file (Via the IBP/IBQ Manager), changes would be lost
Fixed command line parameter /p: to always work on the correctly selected Partition
Turned off overlay icons display by default, because it can cause weird visual effects on some Windows 10 systems
ISO9660 with more folders in the pathtable than than the root folder (illegal situation), could be expanded two ways, depending on what path was followed. This has been fixed and everything is now shown always
Aborting creation of an IBP/IBQ file could cause IsoBuster to think all sectors above that point in the source were unreadable. Cosmetic only, extraction would still simply work

Peter grew the company and product IsoBuster to the world's number one CD, DVD and BD Data Recovery software. It didn't stop there and to date IsoBuster covers and recovers files/data from the full spectrum of data carriers. From Optical to Hard Drives to Flash and Solid State.
Peter has been doing this since 1995 and it's fair to say that a lot of experience and know-how has been bundled in a small but powerful software application.
Smart Projects aims to provide high-end, professional software that is used by Forensics and Data Recovery experts everyday, but at a very affordable price so that it is accessible to everybody.
