Frequently Asked Questions

Why the name, why DiscImageChef?

Because a chef is someone that takes raw ingredients and according to a recipe makes magic with them, and so does DiscImageChef with media dump images.

Which operating systems does DiscImageChef work under?

Any operating system with a .NET runtime should work. Has been tested under Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and FreeBSD.

Will you support media dump image format XXXX?

If you can send me documentation, test images and/or the application that creates them, I will do my best to.

Will you create a graphical interface for DiscImageChef?

After all features are implemented (analyze, dump, browse), I will.

Can I use any of your modules?

As long as you comply with the LGPL license, yes. I would thank you if you tell me where you're using them.

Can I use the CICM XML metadata sidecar format in my project?

Of course, I invite you to use it extensively and provide me with as much feedback as you can.

I have tried DiscImageChef and found a bug, how can I tell you?

Please don't send me an email, it will simply fall in oblivion. Github has a pretty nice bug tracker, just click Issues and create a New Issue, that way the bug will not be forgotten and you can follow progress on its solution.
