Great visual.
Thank you for your work.

I would like to announce that a beta GUI version of HDDSuperClone has been released. Still only the free version, but this is the big stepping stone in my quest. It still needs some work, but I believe it should be fully functional as a cloning tool.

We can download it already?
Gonna give it a shot.
Good work?

I am super excited to try it out.

I have downloaded it, but how to start GUI?

I notice that when I tried to install the 32 bit Debian version the package install fails with a message about an invalid character in a file name. That's using Knoppix live USB. However, the 64-bit version seems to be working marvelously in Sparky Linux.

When I have time, I will try to look into this. But have you ever tried installing any of the older versions on the Knoppix live USB?

No, I mostly use Sparky Linux here. I actually just tried installing it while remotely helping someone who had booted from a Knoppix live USB.

It was a pretty much healthy drive (one bad sector) and I ended up using ddrescue. Just wanted to give the new GUI a real world trial

FYI someone else also sent me a more detailed bug report about the installation error, and it has been fixed already, just didn't think to post that here.
