Data Explorer Module Major Upgrade:  

In previous versions, MRT had very limited capabilities in handling multiple files when processing file images. In fact, as early as version 2.1.6.1, MRT added a bitmap interface for valid data within partitions, allowing users to process valid data of a specific partition without considering other bitmaps.

The main limitation of that feature was its vulnerability to read failures caused by bad sectors or weak heads. When encountering multiple file damages or head-related issues, marking valid data within partitions became very laborious and prone to failure. At the same time, its processing mechanism needed improvement, as it could only handle entire partitions and not specific folders or files.

In this upgrade, we have added the ability to mark valid data for multiple folders. Correspondingly, an independent valid data bitmap interface has also been provided, displaying only the bitmap information of the selected and marked files:

The purple section above represents the bitmap of marked valid data of folders, using virtual LBA numbering for marking. The starting virtual LBA is 0, corresponding to the starting LBA of the currently selected item.

With this upgrade, we can now perform individual imaging and secondary imaging on any file or folder, avoiding interference from other sector bitmaps and unnecessary files. It also prevents the issue where, after encountering bad sectors or head problems when imaging a folder, it was previously impossible to continue imaging during secondary imaging.

The above covers the preview content of the MRT new version upgrade. Currently, the new version is still in internal testing, and further testing and improvements are needed. Please stay tuned for future updates!
