Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

This is more of a note for myself for the future, possibly related to
dd.Is it possible to have it so that a generic image, something like an ISO, IMG, or BIN/CUE can be processed without the rest of the input files? Basically, if something is input, try to read as much information as possible from it, including hashes, PVD, and the like.
This would be good so that things like PSP dumps not using UIC, dd dumps, etc. could also have submission information generated, albeit not to the same level of quality as something from a supported tool.
As an addendum, porting over some of the hashing code from SabreTools will be required as a part of this, since there will be a lot of assumptions made with regards to external hashes only. This also will solve an issue that is not quite taken care of yet regarding the outputs from UIC.

This would be awesome. +1.
If you could "load" an image and have it read as much of this type of information into an output file, that would be really cool.

Due to more refined aims of MPF and the removal of dd for Windows, I am considering this fully out of scope now.
