I used PHOTREC and now I’m going to be trying out photo sorter and its great that is sort over 2000 files but let me ask this question I used photo rec for the first time like a month ago on external HD and it recovered all files which werent many but that all werent named recover and were not named what they were before. They all started with F and then some numbers. Is there something I did wrong or I will have to rename all files like example mp3′s I would have to rename each file. Can you help me out?

Did as instructed in your email and all went well as in my files were categorised/grouped into different extensions which made life a lot easy.

Thanks for your assistence and keep up the good work.

Thank you for this useful tool!

It sorted one half of ~600000 files, while leaving the other half untouched (for the most part txt files), stating ‘txt directory already exists’, but not moving. A small part of those most likely had names already in use, but renaming randomly didn’t change this behaviour either. Anyway, that’s still 300000 files sorted correctly! =)

Thank you very much for taking the time to write this, saved me a lot of hassle with sorting 120GB of data

Sorry no, PhotoRec Sorter is currently only compatible with Windows.

PhotoRec Sorter is a Windows executable, it is not directly compatible with any Linux/Unix based operating system. Try it with Wine.
