#infoscava #fileanalysis #pyside6 #opensource

The latest version of Infoscava, v2.1.9, introduces important improvements and refinements to its already powerful file analysis capabilities. Infoscava remains a reliable and standalone desktop application designed for structured and unstructured file inspection across a wide range of formats.

What’s New in v2.1.9

This release includes enhancements that improve both functionality and user experience:

An additional search tab has been added with multi-match highlighting, match navigation, and live result updates for faster and more accurate data access.
A user interface bug has been fixed, resolving an issue where the Light (White) Theme was not properly applied to the QTreeView file browser.

Core Capabilities

Infoscava continues to provide a comprehensive set of features for file analysis, including:

Metadata extraction, hash generation, Base64 view, text/hex view, EXIF and GPS data (for images), entropy measurements, and byte histograms.
A tabbed user interface with drag-and-drop support, an integrated file browser, keyboard shortcuts, and theme toggling.
File watcher for automatic reloads when files are updated on disk.
Export options for analysis reports in JSON, TXT, and HTML formats.
Plugin system with support for dynamic .infoscava plugin files, enabling custom analysis outputs and additional tab integration.
Plugin management features, including load, reload, delete, and history tracking.
Integration with the right-click context menu for quick access.

Note on Settings Menu

A settings menu is available in the new version, although it is not yet documented. It is advised not to modify its values, as they are preconfigured for performance optimization.
