2.29 Spark, Zip and PDF filetype recognition added.
2.28 Pathname recognition improved to cope with filers which use lower
case FS names.
2.27 Drive and FS lists in select window now work correctly with more
than five drives - the window size is now correctly set.
For drives with no name, the drive selection list and the editing
window title show the drive number instead. In earlier versions,
both would have been blank.
2.26 In the filing system list, ADFS is now always put at the top as
most people will want to select this one.
2.25 ZapRedraw module now included with DiscEdit. I now have permission
from Dominic Symes to distribute it.
DiscEdit is now definitely StrongARM compatible.
Disc names as created by newer HForm programs are now recognised.
Directory functions are now available even if DiscEdit does not
recognise the sector as the start of a directory. This allows even
very badly corrupted directories to be restored if the later data
is still intact. You are asked for confirmation before the program
will alter directories which don't look like directories.
Search free space function correctly deals with a full list. This
was fine until I speeded up the search, then I broke it. It's now
fixed again.
Find filename option disabled when using old map (or DOS) discs.
2.24 Added PipeDream filetypes to database. Self-modifying SWI veneer
changed so could now be StrongARM compatible.
2.23 Searching speeded up again. It now doesn't slow down as it gets
further down the disc.
Searching for the filename of the displayed sector is now extremely
fast - a huge increase thanks to an idea from Sergio Monesi.
2.22 Search speed increased by a factor of 20!, using a 1Mb buffer. The
search routine will try to claim 1Mb of memory, halving each time
the allocate fails. Now takes only a minute to search 25Mb.
You can now search for 'Any file'. This will produce a list of all
the files in free space which DiscEdit can identify. The filetype
is shown with each entry in the 'found' window. This option could
be useful if you've had an accident with HForm!!
Search 'found' window made bigger.
2.21 Bug fix in handling the new filecore - attempts to read a sector
resulted in only one byte being read.
2.20 Now correctly interprets shared map chunks under the new FileCore.
2.19 Filename search algorithm improved to find filenames for files in
shared chunks, rather than just returning the parent directory.
Bug in following objects backwards introduced in 2.17 fixed.
2.18 Certain information in the disc record (currently only the disc
size) can be altered to allow the editor to read beyond the end of
the disc as reported by RISC OS. This allows access to other
partitions etc.
Bug fixed so that window is blank white rather than covered in
rubbish if an error is encountered while reading a sector.
2.17 Editor menu structure changed to shrink the main menu and add more
submenus.
Three new save options added:
Save "Chunk" will save the current chunk. This will be all the
fragments of a file chunk, or the current free space fragment as
appropriate.
Save "'File'" saves sectors from within the current object (free
space or file) until a new filetype is recognised or until the end
of the object is reached.
This option will usually save all of a particular file, but may
include other data at the end. Most programs will be able to load
and recover from a file saved in this way. Note that hard disc DOS
partitions will not be saved complete using this option, as the
filetype recognition system spots both the partition file AND
the DOS partition(s) within it, causing the save to stop at the
beginning of the inner partition.
Save "To mark" saves sectors until it gets to the marker, set
previously with the 'Set mark' option on the main menu. Saving
finishes with the sector immediately before the marker.
A new section has been added to the !Help file detailing how
various disc problems can be fixed using !DiscEdit.
2.16 Filename search option added. Selecting this causes !DiscEdit to
search the disc to find a filename for the sector being edited.
2.15 Software modified to make upgrading easier for registered users.
From version 2.15, new versions can be turned into registered
copies by copying a 'RegData' file from your old registered copy.
If registered users have a pre-2.15 version, they should email me
for a registration file.
The changes mean that registered users can carry on downloading new
versions from the FTP sites without having to ask for a new
registered copy.
2.14 Chunk ID 1 shown as '*Defect*' on the toolbar.
Current filing system and disc names shown in the edit window
title bar.
Should now support discs up to 4Gb in size, using the features in
the new FileCore. This is still very much beta test, since I don't
have the new FileCore to test it (or a disc large enough!). Please
report any problems ASAP.
2.13 Boot check option added when viewer is on address &C00 on a hard
disc - corrects the boot block checksum.
2.12 First general release.
