Changelog

6.36 - 6.37

Disk Dive

20 July 2026

• Open a raw disk image - an SD card, USB stick or floppy copy - like a folder, browse every file, and rescue deleted photos down to a damaged photo’s readable part or its thumbnail.

The disk browser

• NewOpen a disk image like a folder. A raw image (.img, .ima, .dsk) mounts its FAT12/16/32 filesystem into a browsable tree and treemap; VHD/VHDX, VMDK, QCOW2, VDI and ISO are identified with their partition table.
• NewRescue deleted photos. A raw-sector scan carves every picture, including deleted and orphaned ones, into a gallery you step through and save.
• NewRebuild a headerless JPEG. Pick a healthy photo from the same camera and Analyser borrows its header so a JPEG with only raw data left decodes again.
• NewAndroid app bundles. XAPK, APKM and APKS bundles open as browsable archives, reading app name, package, version, permissions and the base/split APKs.
• FixThe bundled OBJ 3D sample carries its colours, previewing with its red lettering instead of grey.

Deeper photo recovery

• NewSee the readable part of a damaged photo. A cut-short or partly overwritten photo decodes whatever is intact, usually the top, with the rest left grey.
• NewRecover a photo from its thumbnail. When the full-size image is overwritten but the header preview survives, Analyser falls back to that thumbnail.
• NewScan on demand. The raw-sector scan waits for a Scan for images button, then shows carved pictures with per-photo dates, hover Analyse/Download and newest/oldest/largest sorting.
• FixPhotos briefly mis-read as empty during a busy scan now show, and a photo scattered in pieces is reassembled.

6.32 - 6.35

Watertight

16 July 2026

• NewMesh integrity check for STL, OBJ, 3MF, STEP, glTF and FBX - watertight, non-manifold edges, holes, degenerate and flipped faces.

6.21 - 6.31

Provenance

14 July 2026

• NewContent Credentials. Unpacks an image’s C2PA record - signing tool, edits, source images, AI involvement and certificate.
• NewAI-generated image check. Surfaces generator names, the “digital source type” marker and hidden Stable Diffusion, ComfyUI and Midjourney parameter blocks.
• NewStrip hidden metadata from a JPEG, PNG or WebP - EXIF, XMP, IPTC, comments and GPS - by lossless container surgery.
• NewDates timeline lines up every timestamp a file carries and flags impossible orderings.
• NewBrowsable, searchable docs site with live interactive examples, plus a reorganised footer.

6.19 - 6.20

Workbench

13 July 2026

• NewLive data grid under every CSV, Excel and OpenDocument sheet - sort, filter, search and reorder columns.
• NewSplit a column on a chosen delimiter, with undo.
• NewGroup and summarise by any column with count, sum, average, min, max or median.
• NewBuild a chart - line, bar, scatter, histogram, pie, area, box plot or heatmap.
• NewExport chart as PNG, stats as JSON or filtered rows as CSV.
• NewMore date formats - quarter/month notation and dotted, dashed or slashed dates, with a D/M/Y toggle.

• FixReset zoom moved to its own row so it stays reachable.

6.14 - 6.16

Homecoming

11 July 2026

• Analyser is a pure website again - the desktop and mobile app experiment is retired and stripped from the code.
• Repository gains a contributing guide, security policy, code of conduct and issue templates.

6.12 - 6.13

Keyring

11 July 2026, 21:30

• NewRead inside a Java KeyStore - lists every entry and decodes each certificate, including PKCS#12 keystores named .jks.
• FixClear storage spares anything saved for offline use.

Desktop and mobile apps

• FasterSmaller apps that fetch the AI vocal-separation model and OCR language packs on demand.
• FixOCR in other languages now works in the apps, not only the website.

6.08 - 6.11

Even Keel

11 July 2026, 18:03

• FixSeparate vocals (AI) works on iPhone and Safari via a stable path, keeping the graphics-card path on Chrome and Edge.

Guard Rails

10 July 2026, 23:53

• FixSturdier against broken or hostile files - readers stop cleanly instead of freezing the tab.
• FixPreviews stay inert - documents, e-mail, presentations, maps, diagrams and vectors are strictly sanitised.
• FixDropping several files analyses the first cleanly instead of stacking them.
• FixA viewer that trips shows a plain error with the fingerprint still available.

• Asteroids leaderboard marked unverified - scores are player-submitted.

Desktop app

• FixDesktop app reads only the exact file dropped, never another by path.

5.16 - 5.21

Side by Side

10 July 2026, 01:41

• A new /compare page lines up two files side by side, and the sound workbench gains volume boost, part isolation and WAV export.
• NewThe Compare page runs two dropped files through full analysis and merges results into one table per section, with a Show differences toggle.
• NewEvery audio and video player's volume slider reaches 225% with a limiter, resetting to 100% each visit.
• NewThe Sound analysis Isolate tool gains Vocals, Bass, Drums and Remove vocals presets plus a Download WAV rendered through your bands, needing nothing downloaded.
• FixBoosting a clip lifts spectrogram sensitivity to match, with a click-to-reset mark at 100%.
• FixA large ZIP whose index sits deep in the file now reads in full so every entry lists.
• FixTapping a bar or point on the stats page shows its figure on phones.
• FixA multi-tool G-code build cross-fades tool highlights and defaults to a 30-second run.

• FixA very large comic, DjVu scan or database shows a notice instead of crashing the tab.
• Frosted-glass labels, PDF text selection, home-screen install and audio playback pick up Safari and iOS fixes.
• FixVideo the browser cannot decode, such as Sony 4:2:2 footage, is offered as a Convert to H.264 button.
• FixAudio the browser cannot decode plays back through the rebuilt waveform Analyser already makes.
• FixA very long PDF page is capped to a page shape and scaled to fit.
• FixYou can grab and pan an open PDF page, and one that already fits no longer scrolls sideways.
• FixDimmed G-code tools ease back to full at a clip's end instead of snapping.
• FixThe scrollbar under a long After Effects timeline can be dragged directly.

5.12

Band Stop

7 July 2026, 07:41

• Mute frequencies you pick on the spectrogram, watch every image-to-sound setting reshape the picture live, and see below 20 Hz.
• NewThe Sound analysis spectrogram gains an Isolate mode - drag or type exact low and high frequencies to mute bands, shaded on the view, while you keep scrubbing.

5.09 - 5.10

Take One

7 July 2026

• A G-code build can be recorded as a video and downloaded, and the G-code/3D viewer gains proper zoom controls.
• NewThe G-code viewer's Export clip button renders the whole build as an MP4 with toolpath and orbit, faster than real time and on-device.
• NewThe viewer adds a press-hold +/- zoom pad and a scroll-zoom toggle, so the wheel scrolls the page until turned on.
• FixFading every tool but the printing one no longer blooms dense areas and outlines.
• FixFullscreen starts with the canvas filling the screen and controls collapsed to a slim bar.

5.08

Any File

6 July 2026, 13:15

5.01 - 5.03

Forensic Sweep

27 June 2026, 18:30

• Analyser sharpens into a forensic toolkit: it maps where a file turns random, pulls hidden files back out, spots edited photos and tampered dates, traces PDF scripts, plays Lottie, opens FBX, and signs off reports so anyone can verify them.
• NewAn unknown file gets a colour strip charting how random each part is, marking compressed, encrypted or packed regions and the seams between them.
• NewData tacked on after a file's end can be extracted or opened in place, so an archive hidden behind a JPEG opens straight away.

• NewAn Autodesk .fbx model opens in the 3D viewer, reading its mesh from both binary and text forms.
• NewThe exported report leads with a verification block - SHA-256, size, UTC timestamp and version - and a new PDF print option.
• FixAn .html preview lays out at real browser width and scales to fit, with a Desktop / Mobile switch.
• FixSwitching a render-quality option in the G-code viewer no longer resets dim other tools or the build-plate view.
• The Samples button is highlighted and never triggers the share prompt, and the stats graph opens cumulative and stays readable on phones.

4.17

Split Personality

24 June 2026, 05:18

• Shared extensions get a guide page per meaning, the folder scanner judges files by contents, more developer and phone formats are recognised, and sharpness scoring is fairer.
• NewExtensions shared by unrelated formats (.pkg, .key, .map) now carry a separate card per meaning, 23 covered.
• NewThe folder scanner identifies each file by its contents, so misnamed or extensionless readable files still count as openable.

• NewThe home page keeps the last ten files analysed - names, sizes and types only - for a week.
• NewA .csv or spreadsheet flags outlier numbers, constant columns and identifier-like columns.
• The header now counts files analysed in place of the visitor count.
