What's new in this version:

Changes / New:
- Ability to analyze a FAT (12, 16 or 32) and work out all the files it references without the need for a full media scan [Professional license or better]
- Ability to try and figure out file extensions of files found via analyzing the FAT (via right mouse click "Try to find matching extensions")
- Ability to try and figure out *.CHK files' true file extension (in FAT "FOUND.???" folders (e.g. "FOUND.000"), also via right mouse click)
- Show NTFS Junctions and Symbolic links by applying a shortcut overlay icon, and by providing link information in the Properties dialog
- Finding logical drives (drive letter volumes) is now default ON on modern systems (W10 and higher) after a clean install

Improved:
- Improved extraction dialog scaling when dragged to a different monitor
- Improved search dialog scaling when dragged to a different monitor
- Improved message dialog scaling when dragged to a different monitor
- Improved properties dialog scaling when dragged to a different monitor
- Improved options dialog scaling when dragged to a different monitor
- Improved 'About' dialog to properly scale the image on all systems and for all dpi settings
- Improved file-system icons for better scaling and to look crisp for all dpi settings
- Improvements detecting raw (2352 bytes per block) generic CD images
- Auto-open the MDS file when an MDF file is opened (and when the filename matches)
- Creating an MD5 can now be done straight to file, or the result can be shown in the edit window
- Workaround for an unknown 12 byte header in rare ISO/IMG files made by an unknown application
- Improved FAT detection by double checking if it's not a BitLocker encrypted Partition
- Improved MBR partition parsing by double checking if it's not an image of a BitLocker encrypted Partition
- The level up, previous and next selection-history buttons now have a shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + (Arrow-up or Arrow-left or Arrow-right)
- Remove "OpenWithProgids" entries again from the registry when disabling an extension because Windows 10/11 appears to use it as backup, which defeats the purpose of disabling the association
- Get the proper size for logical drives (Volumes) instead of the physical drive's size the Partition/Volume is on
- Changed a logical drive's name to reflect on what physical drive the volume is located
- Option to clear an optical disc drive's content after the eject button is clicked
- Option to change how the media/cd/hdd/.. filename for an image file is formed
- Stay with font size 9 when the screen dpi 100% (e.g. 150%) (revert 5.0 change (in case of higher dpi))
- Show speed when extracting (or cloning) Media Segments
- Draw a line between different types of devices, Optical vs HDD (Physical) vs HDD (Logical) vs Image Files
- Display up to 6 digits behind the comma when showing the percentage of bad sectors, so that only a few errors on larger volumes still produce a value different from 100%, e.g. 99.999999 %
- Ability to launch the Edit Window with the contents of all tabs in the Properties dialog
- Updated libwim-15.dll to version 1.13.6
- Plenty of other tweaks and improvements

Fixed:
- a 64 bit instability (and program shut down) that could happen on certain systems. If your version runs fine, this doesn't affect you
- an unexpected shut down while parsing certain FAT file systems
- parsing CloneCD *.ccd image files using the 64bit version (it was not a problem with the 32 bit version)
- creating an MD5 file of CUE + ISO combinations. Only the CUE's MD5 would be recorded in the file
- building an error list for media with some read errors at the end (sometimes the range started incorrectly at address 0)
- NTFS hard links' file-naming (which could be off, depending on the order of filenames in the MFT records)
- an NTFS corruption issue with LZX-compressed WofCompressedData named streams
- it so that overlay icons are shown again in the right hand side ListView (for instance shortcut overlay icons) (Broken since 4.9)
- FAT meta files' size and offset when the FAT was detected inside a boot image on CD
