From a twitter post, a cool video on imaging with X-Ways noted (13:50) as doing something other tools don't. The entire video is actually pretty good too.

Eric is at it again. This time with a pretty cool update to the X-Ways Forensics Install Manager (v0.0.7.0). The update to the XWFIM now includes an option to create a portable install to external media. Page 13 of the Practitioner's Guide to X-Ways Forensics details how to do this manually, but XWFIM does it for you with a few clicks.
Easy enough
Cool! Notepad++ and Volume Label renamed.
Bam! Done.
Another cool little feature is that the XWFIM creates all the case folders for you in the process of the portable install. Neat.
I like this. Saves a few keystrokes and I'm all about saving keystrokes.
Don't forget, if you liked the Practitioner's Guide to X-Ways Forensics, write a review on Amazon to let us know how you liked it (or if you didn't...). And if you use XWF and didn't buy the guide...you are missing out on more than a few tips and tricks that will save you dozens of keystrokes.
I cannot imagine anyone who uses XWF not having Eric Zimmerman's XWFIM. Every time I use it, I wonder how I did without it. XWFIM is available through the XWF support forum. It's free, but you need a license for XWF to get it.
Eric constantly adds little things to it, much like Stefan adds 'little' things to X-Ways Forensics. One of the latest little additions is the selection box to "Include pre-release versions" which is pretty cool.
And if you haven't bought the XWF Guide yet and you use the XWFIM, just click the book's graphic and you can have the guide on your Kindle in about 30 seconds.
