DFSee version 14.6 has been released.  

MINOR release, meaning you get it for FREE if you have a 14.x key already.
However, thare are some pretty MAJOR new features and bug fixes:  


 - NEW bootable USB stick based on PUPPY Linux with integrated DFSee  

 - Creation of the DFSPUPPY bootable USB stick directly from the Scripts menu  

 - Mouse support has been extended to the Linux amd macOS versions  

 - Your existing registration key is transferred to the created stick
 (with no key, you will end up with a time limited evaluation key)  

 - DFSee resize/redraw on first keypress or mouseclick after window resize
 (on Linux or macOS, since they have dynamically sized terminal windows)  


 See the screenshots and additional info at:

 Feedback about the new bootable stick is appreciated!  

 

 - Mouse support is enhanced with several new features that make life easier:  

 - Switch between [Basic] and [Expert] by clicking the menubar indicator  

 - Button1 DRAG in a selection-list (Browser) to mark a range of files  

 - Button-3 click (usually scroll-wheel) to show context sensitive HELP  

 - Ctrl-click to close a (HELP) text window or a dialog window  

 - Ctrl-click on the commandline area to exit the program  

 - Scroll text windows and selection lists using the scroll-wheel  

 - Scroll the text output window using a 'scrollbar' area at right border  

 Note: Still NO mouse support in the Linux console, only X terminals  

 


DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning,
smart imaging or cloning of partitions or complete disks,
filesystem and disk analysis, directory/file browsing with
edit/view/copy capabilities including limited UNDELETE.
