Description

The following file is a partclone image (copied from a Clonezilla backup).

https://github.com/discimagechef/DiscImageChef/files/3955569/sda1.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.aa.zip
(Apologies - I've had to zip it up)

DiscImageChef correctly identifies it as GZip, but when it tries to identify the file system it does not match against partclone.

Exact command line used:

string filename = @"C:\VMs\SmallDrive\output\2019-11-27-22-img_sda\sda1.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.aa";

IFilter inputFilter = filtersList.GetFilter(filename);
IMediaImage imageFormat = ImageFormat.Detect(inputFilter);
if (imageFormat.Open(inputFilter))
{
    List<Partition> partitions = DiscImageChef.Core.Partitions.GetAll(imageFormat);
    partitions.ForEach(partition =>
    {
        Console.WriteLine(partition);
    }
}

Expected behavior:

The file system is identified as 'partclone'

Actual behavior:

The file system is not identified

Thank you,
Fidel
