New versions of free R-Linux for Linux and Windows are available for download.
New features
+ Data storage types (SSD, HDD, USB, etc) info has been added to the Drives pane.
+ All S.M.A.R.T. attributes can be copied through one action (The Copy All button on the S.M.A.R.T. panel).
+ Drive imaging can be interrupted and then resumed. When the user stops an imaging process, they have two options: to discard an already created partial image file or to save it to resume drive imaging later. Created partial images can be loaded, too.
+ Files can be recovered or marked for recovery directly from File previewer.
+ Several disk objects can be opened in one tab. All these objects can be simultaneously searched for files, their files can be marked and recovered.
+ The number of read tries for bad sectors can be changed during a disk
operation.
