ddrescueview examines ddrescue’s mapfiles

ddrescueview is a small tool that allows users to graphically examine ddrescue’s mapfiles in a user friendly GUI application.

The Main window displays a block grid with each block’s color representing the block types it contains. Many people know this type of view from defragmentation programs.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

• Display ddrescue mapfile in a colored block graphic.
• Examine each block in the image with a detailed list of map entries inside.
• Zoom inside the mapfile, down to sector level.
• To keep track of the rescue process, ddrescueview can automatically re-read the mapfile.
• Overlay a domain mapfile, if you use one with ddrescue.
• Units can be displayed with decimal (KB, MB…) or binary (KiB, MiB…) prefixes.
• Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows.
