DFSee version 14.0 has been released, with new functionality and several fixes.
  

It is a MAJOR release, and the first to offer a filemanager-like BROWSE dialog
giving very easy to use access to file viewing, editing and copying/recovery.
The BROWSE functionailty is implemented for FAT, ExFAT, NTFS, JFS, HPFS and
EXT3/4  

Also for the first time there is DIRECT access to DFSee compressed images
(.IMZ)
including BROWSING the filesystems in that image, this is a user-friendly way
to restore individual file(s) out of such an aimage, making them more suitable
to use as a partition backup method.  

Then it lets you mount VirtualBox .VDI disk images as a disk inside DFSee,
so you can use partitioning functions or access the partitions and filesystems
in them without the need to start a virtual machine.  


Of course, as usual, there are also many smaller improvements and bug fixes.  


DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning,
filesystem and disk analysis, file recovery/UNDELETE and
smart imaging or cloning of partitions or complete disks.  


This being a major release, it will require an upgrade if you currently
have a registration for an older version:
