        Very nicely done, worked "out of the box" here on my U12.10
        system.

        Would it be possile to package it so that it extracts to a
        unique directory, as opposed to the current-path?
        ie, ./ddrescueview-0.3/  

        Anyhow, a very useful tool, I know I'll be using it a lot.

        A feature question, is there any way that you can determine the
        placement of the sectors physically on the drive platters
        (geometrically) such that if you viewed them you could see if
        you're dealing with a damaged track (ring), failing surface
        layer (expanding blob[s]), or bad head (everything) etc?  Not
        really needed, just thought it'd be curious to ask.

        Again, well done, fantastic visual compliment to a wonderful
        tool.
