DDrescue-GUI 2.0.1 Release, Install on Ubuntu (18.10/18.04) & Linux Mint
DDRescue-GUI an user-friendly, multiplatform, freely distributed and open source graphical application implemented in Python and designed to provide users with an easy-to-use GUI (Graphical User Interface) front-end for the awesome GNU ddrescue command-line software.
What is GNU ddrescue?
GNU ddrescue is an open source and free command-line software written by Antonio Diaz Diaz and designed to be used for data recovery tasks. It can copy data from one file or block device to another.
DDRescue-GUI v2.0.1 is a more minor release, but still brings some important fixes, including:
- Not automatically adding file extensions for devices under /dev (Linux).
- This was an issue when a device wasn’t automatically detected by the GUI.
- Removing the “All Files” file picker wildcard (macOS).
- This was causing weird behavior in some situations.
- An issue with selecting map (previously called log) files was fixed.
- The version and the release date were moved to the left in the status bar.
- This improves readability on some platforms.
- I also fixed an issue where a recovery couldn’t be aborted easily on some versions of Linux.
