Easy to use, but it took quite a while to figure out how to arrive in the situation when I could use it: I had to recover images from the card inside my camera, and these are the steps I did: 1) mount my camera as an USB Mass storage device (can it be used also with PTP cameras?) 2) find the name of the device that corresponds to the camera (as an example, \dev\sdb1 in my case) 3) unmount the device (I don't know if it is needed, but I did it) 4) launch rcoverjpeg as sudo . Great program . It has worked also for me, Excellent little program.

I did exactly the same thing with Linux, DD, and a 5 minute perl script back in 2003 when I had a CF card get corrupted. Just DDing the card to the hard drive then scanning for JFIF headers got all my photos back as well. good Hey, that’s cool.

The program works perfect under SuSE 10.3. The only thing I can imagine is that people miss a small howto for using the program. I can't post an recovered picture because they are not mine, but I can say you made a few people very happy! I first tried to install recoverjpeg on my SuSE 10.0 box, but the dependencies on the guru repository are broken.

I know my readers will want this information. We just did a piece on computer forensics, um, about a month ago after some interest came in about jobs in the computer field for those building their own computers. Yours is a perfect example. I'd like to do a tut based on your description (with link back to you) all right? Thanks, Guy Samuel - very happy to find this. I know my readers will want this information.

He deleted all files from this trip home to his family on his digicam. He searched the whole night for a "recover my files on a digicam" program for windows and came up with a "free" program. It worked and showed him the pictures which he could recover. But in order to do this he would have to buy a license... Strange "free" program. So he came to me looking for help. No idea how i could help i did a quick search inside the package management of ubuntu,,, # apt-cache search recover jpeg ... recoverjpeg ... Aha. There is something for you.
