Work around for bad behaving drives that return a track length of 0, for tracks on DVD-R, using certain commands (e.g. seen with HL-DT-ST GDR8162B (fw 0015) but can quite possibly also occur with other drives)
Updates, content and translations, in Help, Installer and Program resources
Various graphical improvements for VISTA. Text cut due to window width, flickering of progress bar etc.
Disabled Asynchronous Drag and Drop on VISTA systems again
Sometimes this lead to an error message, the second time a drop was done
Various smaller improvements
Fixes: Changelog for v2.0BD (Blu Ray) and HD DVD support
UDF 2.6
Implemented the ability to use other system installed code pages, such as MAC, SYMBOL, UTF8 etc., for ISO9660
Properties for drives show, next to CD and DVD, also BD and HD DVD Read and Write capabilities
Installation and IsoBuster.exe are now code signed to make Windows (more or less) happy
Implemented ASynchronous Drag and Drop (file extraction) on VISTA systems to avoid the VISTA over-write dialogue to become stuck under the IsoBuster window, which looks like a hang, but it isn't
VISTA style directory icons when ran on a VISTA system
Start with font Tahoma on XP or Segoe UI on VISTA
Default to SPTI on a VISTA system, even when the app is not running in admin mode
Now possible to drag files immediately to the XP writer drive letter (staging area)
HTML help would not launch on VISTA due to OS changes. This is now correctly implemented
On VISTA the Panel with image-file-name was often not properly painted. Changed the Panel with a another Windows component
File-extension associations setting in the installer now improved with 'set all', 'clear all' buttons
HFS(+) Mac File System, with multiple of 512 byte blocks support
Cut long boot image-file name to spec value (if not delimited by terminating zero) to avoid illegal filename according to Windows
Improvements in the file-type-recognition code (files found based on their signature): *.qt, *.kbf
Added *.VRO to the file-type list that gets the dialogue that also offers to replace with all zeroes on read errors
Directory (Folder) names are now ALWAYS trimmed on the right side, if the file-system contains such folder names. Windows cannot create a folder name with a trailing blank, so file extractions to that folder would fail
Release SPTI handle immediately of all non-optical devices. No reason to keep it open during program execution
Do not automatically suggest to create an IBP/IBQ file anymore if the "drive" is in fact an image file ! (any image file)
Properties' dialogues for files and folders now show the attributes (A,R,S,H,C)
In certain situations, with certain DVD discs, on certain DVD drives, not all sessions were seen. This is now fixed in the new CD/DVD recognition engine
Fix in Boot Emulation size determination. Before, the actual amount of 512 byte blocks was not correctly taken in account. In real life however the implementation was correctly dealing with most situations out there
Fixed that +VR recording-sizes were wrapped when the recording is larger than 4 GB Changelog for v1.9.1IsoBuster splash screen, which will stick until the main window is loaded, which can take a while sometimes when a drive is just mounting a 'difficult' disc and is not responding to commands immediately
Added option to the GUI (in Options) for administrators to grant low level access to storage devices for other users on the system
Multi-language support in the installer itself
IsoBuster theme in About box
Various icon improvements
An object selection is now also available and accessible via the Main Window (File / Sel. Object(s))
Shift+F10 and context menu (between Alt Gr and Ctrl on the right) button click implemented
*.NCD (or subsets of *.NCD) image file support
The multi-extent icon next to a file or folder is *not* shown anymore by default, after a fresh install, to avoid confusion, set it in the options if required
Updated some of the auto recognizing features for Movie DVDs
Changed the more-sessions-in-one-track interpreter to also be able to deal with Nero Cmd made discs (they don't have the typical Nero signature)
Work-around for a particular drive problem (DL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8163B, or possibly a generation of drives) which caused DVD(+R/W) media not to be mounted OK
Tracks and Sessions were not always correctly identified
Improvement to match IBP/IBQ managed image files to actual CDs in certain drives better, has to do with reserved tracks
Load read-only (write protect) IBP/IBQ files but put up a dialog warning for the user and allow him/her to unload the image again
Addded a dialog for when the IsoBuster.exe has been changed, to warn the user that there might be a virus on the system

Finding lost files includes a flat file list of all encountered files, recognized by means of their signature
Finding lost files includes finding an IFO/VOB file-system on DVD if for instance ISO and UDF are corrupt or absent so that video data cannot be found in a normal way
Support for multiple HFS(+) partitions on CD or DVD or in an image file (e.g. *.dmg image file)

Another workaround for the badly behaving ARTEC WRR-4848 drive (at least some firmware versions); IsoBuster would not see the content in case of formatted RW. media
Inserting ID and Serial (hopefully) made easier by adding more filters that strip away email added stuff etc.
Long File-names for directories in the Rock Ridge file-system were not shown if the tree was built up using the PathTable (which is the default setting)
Empty DVD-R media was not always seen as such, if was recognized as CD, on certain newer multi-format DVD Writers due to the combination of multiple standards and the different possible interpretations
Several smaller GUI and other improvements
Penetrating or setting the DLA lock, when DLA is active, is not done anymore to avoid side-effects of which long start-up times are the most annoying ones
The reason why this feature was built in in the first place is disappearing as newer versions of DLA don't require it anymore
The ability to restore this setting still exists, contact Smart Projects to find out how
