You can even exchange files on different disks (but this may take more time).- Added new TrFile_GetCodeSignInfo function, which returns code sign info of signed files (like applications and plug-ins).- Added new TrFile_GetFileStructure function, which returns the structure of a movie (.mov) file: a list of all movie boxes (formerly known as atoms) in the movie. The movie boxes are indented to visualize the tree structure of the boxes. The result can be formatted as XML or as a more readable list of movie boxes.
