I am having the same issue. Folders created, but files not moved. I am using Windows 7.

Thank you! Actually the way the script works it generates the folder names from the files that exist in the “recup_dir” folders so there is no need to maintain a list of possible file extensions.

My initial guess is that the script is having trouble accessing the files in order to move them.

Are the file permissions correct?
Is PhotoRec running while you run PhotoRec Sorter?

I’m adding logging to the to-do list to improve debugging issues like this.

Thanks for your feedback, Sam

I’m afraid, PhotoRecSorter doesn’t work properly.
It creates a lot of EMPTY folders but doesn’t move/sort ANY files from “recup_dir” folders created by PhotoRec. I don’t understand it… Do You have any sugestion for me, please?

If the “recup_dir.1” folder (or possibly another) is empty, PhotoRec_Sorter.exe dies with a “file doesn’t exist” error. I was able to get around this by moving another recovered file into the “recup_dir.1”.

Other than that, it seems to work as advertised. Good work. It was a life-saver.

Hi team
Any chance in future releases you could consider having a maximum file count per folder and therefor have multiple sub-folders per file type? For instance if photorec retrieves 60 000 jpg files PhotoRec Sorter could create a folder called jpg with a sub-folder called ‘1′ in which the first 2000 files are placed, then a second folder called ‘2′ is created to accept the next 2000 files and so on. I’ve found this helps speeds viewing significantly.
