A new build of R-Studio 5.2 is available for download:

New features:
+ In-place saving of recovered files on a remote computer. When recovering data on a remote computer over network, R-Studio can now save recovered files on another disk of the same remote computer, on an external USB hard drive, for example. Moreover, such remote computer can be connected to the Internet rather than to a local network. This feature is especially useful for data recovery technicians and corporations who can now serve their clients truly remotely over the Internet and do not need to transfer large volumes of data over network. In addition, files recovered from a remote compute can be saved on a local computer or on another internet-connected remote computer with R-Studio Agent running.
+ Forensic mode (Technician version only). In this mode R-Studio generates a forensic data collection audit log that can be presented at court hearings. This log includes information about a hardware configuration on which the forensic data collection takes place and MD5 for recovered files.
+ Clickable links in Text/hexadecimal editor. Those links provide direct jumps to important parts of objects being analyzed and edited.

Improvements:
* The file recovery over network is optimized to make it faster.
* More recovery statistics is added to Log.
* R-Studio constantly updates marked file statistics while recovering files.
* The RAID View top hint can be hidden to save extra space in low resolution environments
* Search performance is improved in Text/Hexadecimal editor.
* Data validators are added to many dialog boxes.

Changes:
= When remote computers are connected, the Recover dialog is changed to reflect the new network file recovery features.
= If Restore from root is not selected, R-Studio creates the recovered folder structure starting from the folders below the lowest common folder.
= All log files are saved using the UTF-8 encoding.
