A preview version of X-Ways Forensics 21.9 is now available. The latest download instructions including log-in credentials can be retrieved by querying one's license status, as always.

What's new in v21.9 Preview?

* The event type filter dialog now only lists event types that actually occur in the event list.

* The event type filter dialog now lists event types other than the internally defined ones if such events were added by an X-Tension.

* When saving directory browser settings to a .settings file, you now have more control over what is actually remembered and what will be restored when loading that file. For example you may prefer to have .settings files with just your preferred column order and widths that do not activate or deactivate any column-based filters and do not make you lose your current filter settings. Or .settings files with just your favorite conditional cell coloring that do not override column widths. Or all settings except conditional cell coloring etc. To create .settings files that are compatible with previous versions, you can simply choose to store ALL settings in them.

* Your favorite .settings files can now be loaded with a single mouse click. That is possible if you name them with a single-digit number or letter or any exotic single Unicode symbol, followed optionally by a space and more descriptive text, e.g. "1.settings" or "E Most essential columns only.settings" or "Ⓟ Default filters for pictures.settings" etc. That first character will be displayed in the caption line of the directory browser and will be clickable. If multiple .settings files exist whose naming matches the requirements, their respective first characters will be listed in ascending order of Unicode values.

* Several minor improvements.

* Same fix level as v21.8 SR-2.
