What's new

  • Mount and unmount individual filesystems or eligible partitions in a drive group using UDisks2 and normal desktop authorization.
  • Identify Windows filesystems and partition roles, including NTFS volumes, recovery and EFI partitions, Microsoft Reserved partitions and locked BitLocker containers.
  • New AppImage and Flatpak packages with all ten interface languages and system-controlled light/dark appearance.
  • Correct host drive information inside the Flatpak sandbox.
  • Consistent red usage bars at 90% occupancy and above, including with the older Adwaita version bundled in the AppImage.
  • Embedded Flatpak installation-preview icons and complete software-center descriptions, screenshot captions and release notes in all ten supported languages.
  • Refreshed screenshot and eject icons for unmount actions.

Downloads

All packages below are for Linux x86_64.

AppImage

Download Disk_View-0.1.1-x86_64.AppImage, make it executable, and launch it:

chmod +x Disk_View-0.1.1-x86_64.AppImage
./Disk_View-0.1.1-x86_64.AppImage

Includes GTK, libadwaita and translations. Requires glibc 2.39 or newer, such as Ubuntu 24.04 and newer.

Flatpak

Download Disk_View-0.1.1-x86_64.flatpak and open it in your software center, or install it from a terminal:

flatpak install --user ./Disk_View-0.1.1-x86_64.flatpak
flatpak run de.magynhard.DiskView

Requires Flatpak 1.17 or newer and the GNOME 51 runtime. The bundle points to Flathub for runtime installation. Disk View itself is distributed here as a standalone bundle and is not published on Flathub.

Native archive and executable

disk-view-0.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz contains the executable, all ten translation catalogs, desktop launcher, icon, AppStream metadata and license:

tar -xzf disk-view-0.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
./disk-view-0.1.1-linux-x86_64/bin/disk-view

Keep bin/ and share/ together. The archive and the separate disk-view-0.1.1-linux-x86_64 executable require system-provided GTK4, libadwaita, libudev and their dependencies. The separate executable uses English unless translations are installed alongside it.

Mount/unmount controls require the host UDisks2 service and a desktop polkit authentication agent.

Verification

  • 46 passing headless Crystal specs and six passing packaging checks.
  • Crystal formatting, desktop entry and AppStream metadata validated.
  • Native archive and AppImage startup smoke-tested.
  • Flatpak version, embedded icons and metadata translations checked directly in the bundle.
  • Individual .sha256 files verify the AppImage and Flatpak. SHA256SUMS verifies the native archive and standalone executable.
