HFSExplorer

HFSExplorer is an application that can read Mac-formatted hard disks and disk images.

It can read the file systems HFS (Mac OS Standard), HFS+ (Mac OS Extended) and HFSX (Mac OS Extended with case sensitive file names).

HFSExplorer allows you to browse your Mac volumes with a graphical file system browser, extract files (copy to hard disk), view detailed information about the volume and create disk images from the volume.

HFSExplorer can also read most .dmg and .sparsebundle disk images created on a Mac, including zlib, bzip2 compressed images and AES-128, AES-256 encrypted images. It supports the partition schemes Master Boot Record, GUID Partition Table and Apple Partition Map natively.

HFSExplorer is written mostly in Java 5, optionally using some Java 6, 7 features, with some Windows-specific parts written in C in order to be able to get raw access to block devices, and to create a practical launcher application.

• Bugfix: Fix support for encrypted images with the version 2 header and multiple key entries.
• Bugfix: Help content could not be located due to a recent location change.
• Enhancement: Use the same custom icon for all HFSExplorer windows, making them easier to find.
• Enhancement: Attempt to force the GTK+ Look & Feel if the default one provided by the system is Metal or Motif. This makes HFSExplorer more usable in superuser mode on many Linux distributions.
• Many other small fixes. See the git log for more info.
