Description

This small tool allows the user to graphically examine ddrescue's map files

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.

Features:

* Display ddrescue map in a colored block graphic

* Examine each block in the image, see a detailed list of

map entries contained

* To keep track of the rescue process, ddrescueview can automatically

re-read the mapfile

* Units can be displayed with decimal (KB, MB...) or

binary (KiB, MiB...) prefixes
