IsoBuster 4.3

# Changes:
- On Windows VISTA and higher, if you do not run in admin mode by default (UAC not disabled) you get the UAC (User Account Control) popup each time when you start IsoBuster. This is because admin rights are required to talk to Hard Drives and USB/Flash drives etc. However, in this version, if you disable listing Hard Drives and Flash drives in Options or during install, then you don't get the UAC anymore. The same is true when you run the shell command "extract" or when you start IsoBuster with command line parameters /nodrives or /nohd.
- Support for GPT (GUID) Partition formatting
- Also list empty card readers etc. when detected. Insert a card, hit refresh, and IsoBuster will show the content, like it does on optical media
- Windows 7 (and higher) progress indication via the taskbar
- Added the ability to choose how the VIDEO_TSVTS_0x_0x.VOB file size is determined in the VIDEO file-system (Via Options)
- Implemented extra columns in Listview (Blocks, Offset, Last LBA, Attributes)
- List unallocated space as a hidden partition, provided it has a reasonable size
- File signature recognition for *.cr2 (Canon photo format)
# Improvements:
- Improvements for Floppy/Diskette detection
- Improvements for finding NTFS file systems (for instance when there's no partition data to start from)
- Try to guess the correct code page of CD-Text on an Audio CD based on its Language field
- Allow columns order to be changed
- Popup to enable/disable columns
- Store new column order, width, hidden etc.
- Which column is sorted, and in what direction, is now shown properly
- Once a column header is clicked to sort, that sorting order is also applied to every other folder you browse to
- Various speed and memory allocation improvements throughout the code, noticeable during all sorts of functions.
- Always use code page 10000 when parsing HFS, this improves special characters display such as the small TM in the top corner
- Improvements in the detection between optical and other type media image files with shared extensions (e.g. .img)
- Removed older Win9x / NT4 / Aspi related settings from Options / Communication
- Introduced ability to start IsoBuster with only optical / only other than optical / both or none at all.
- Added command line switches: /nocd and /nohd
- Improved scanning for lost files and folders by reducing false positives for certain FAT and UDF structures
- Exposed more settings via Options / GUI / Messages, for which a popup occured but no way to change it again existed
- Various other smaller GUI improvements
# Fixes:
- Fixed a possible exception error when scanning for lost files and folders on +VR discs
- Fixed several excpetion errors that could occur while scanning for lost files and folders, due to buggy MS Office documents detection code.
- Fixed issue that would prevent ibp images files of other-than-optical media to be accessed properly at all times, because space outside the partitions would stay hidden.
- Fixed issue that caused an extended partition to be shown as well even though it contained other partitions
- Fixed issue that sometimes prevented IsoBuster to see all partitions
- Fixed it so that partitions are sorted, since the partition table may not be sorted
- Fixed issue causing multi-session optical discs not to produce correct image files all the time.
- Fixed rare exception errors when opening certain image files where IsoBuster needed to detect optical vs. HD/Flash etc.
- Fixed rare stack overflow error when deleting a file.
- Fixed rare exception error when the 'Default' button is clicked in Options

* Thumb / Flash drives
* SD disks / drives
* Compact disks / drives
* MMC disks / drives
* SSD disks / drives
* Jaz disks / drives
* Zip disks / drives
* Floppy disks / drives
* HD disks / drives
* And more ...
# Newly supported File System:
* NTFS
# On optical media (CD, DVD, BD) we are accustomed to the concept of Sessions and Tracks. On all these newly supported disks, logical volumes (file-systems) are put into Partitions, not Sessions. IsoBuster supports, just like you were used to with Sessions using IsoBuster:
* All Windows / DOS / Macintosh / HFS Partitions are immediately shown
* All the file-system(s) in those partitions are immediatly shown
* You can use all the features you normally would use on tracks and sessions, but now on partitions.
* You can do data recovery pretty much the exact same way as on optical
* Forensics investigators will love the easy overview of all partitions and all file systems
* See sector per sector content with Sector View
* Extract portions of the media
* Support for UDF, FAT, NTFS, HFS(+) on any partition
* Etc.

# Changes:

* A great deal of new extensions were added to the signature detection which happens during a search for missing files and folders. Besides a large number of various files, picture formats and multimedia files there's now also accurate detection of documents such as: *.wpd, *.sdw, *.odt, *.sxw, *.sxc, *.sxi, *.sxm, *.std, *.ott, *.ots, *.ods, *.odb, *.odg, *.odf, *.odp, *.wb2, *.nsf, *.max and most Office document formats, such as *.doc, *.docx, *.xls, *.xlsx, *.ppt, *.pptx, *mdb, *.pst, *.pub, *.vsd, *.rtf, *.db, *.one, *.wri, *.msi
* Command line support has been enhanced with a large number of new parameters and combinations. Besides initiating "/scan" and extracting the files found based on their signature "sig:" there is now also the possibility to extract "all:" tracks / sessions / file systems, dynamically change the names of the extract-to files or folders, export file-lists ("/tree") based on a number of parameters/ tokens etc. Best check the details in the help file for more information

# Improvements:

* UDF scan for missing files improvements, so that in case of many references to VAT tables not the same sectors are read again and again, and so that duplicate UDF FS are not listed anymore
* Updated EWF support to the latest and greatest status of the LibEWF project
* Ability to "OK to all" on Windows IO errors during extraction to avoid X amount of such dialogs when multiple files are processed
* Always display a message after a forced online check, even if it is the most recent version, and even if the user set not to display beta or final version warnings
* The cue file full path was displayed in the Save Dialog control instead of only the filename.
* Ability to build lists, showing the extents of fragmented files. [Business] feature.
* Various other GUI improvements

# Fixes:

* Small issue that caused some DVD IBP/IBQ images to be recognised as CD, so that they could not be completed anymore
* Small issue that caused some IBP/IBQ images with gaps to be reported without gaps
* Fixed a very rare crash caused by a buggy UDF file system, while scanning for missing files and folders.
* The md5 file was not put in the proper folder when set to create automatically after image file creation.
* Fixed issue that caused the last found file, based on its signature, to be one block short in length.
* Fixed exception error when trying to sort file extents.
* Fixed extremely rare offset error in image files accessed via CUE or IBP, when the first track doesn't start at address 0
