Aye, it says with the full forensic version it will handle ext4 (gave
me a dialog saying that it detected ext4, and then closed the window on
me).

Unfortunately, I don't have €176.90 (~USD 230) to purchase it, so it's
not going to be a viable option for me.  At least, if I understand it
correctly, that's the price for the version that I would need.

It is rather nice to see a program that not only runs under Wine well,
but also has functionality that makes it very useful specifically for
Linux when running under Wine.  It also mentions that there are
unsupported flags in the superblock, so maybe support isn't 100%
complete, but if I had the funds I'd try it anyway; I am not that great
a low-level programmer and certainly have never mucked about with
filesystems (other than vfat, but that really doesn't count as a
filesystem in my book...)
