Click Start & the next screen lets you choose the drive/device to scan, & once you select one the Filter button becomes active -- click it to choose what files types you want to show up in scan results, &/or if you want to limit the search to a region of the drive, set in sectors. The next window shows progress as it scans the drive, showing files found as it finds them -- you can pause or stop the scan when you want, & optionally save the scan results so you can pick up from that point later on. Unlike Recuva the found files folder tree lists the file type rather than original file names -- clicking one of the found files showed a preview for jpg, but not mpg video in later testing. Once you select the files you want to recover, clicking the Recover button lets you choose where you want them. Installation isn't bad, & Wondershare Photo Recovery is portable *Depending on how you define that term*... it will write to the registry, so *Strictly Speaking* Photo Recovery is not a fully portable app, but it doesn't need any registry entries to run, so if writing new registry entries isn't a problem for you, it's portable out of the box. The PhotoRecovery program folder holds 36 files, 3 folders, ~19 MB, though you might pare that down a bit if needed, deleting for example internet shortcuts & possibly some or all of the Microsoft files that are included more as a precaution -- per testing with Process Explorer most Windows installs I think will use the versions of those files already installed into the Windows folder. I recorded ~35 new registry entries, mostly uninstall related. As others have already noted, there's no shortage of recovery apps, so Wondershare Photo Recovery isn't a *Must Have* by any means. That said, while based on this morning's tests I'd personally start out with Recuva, if you can store this Wondershare app someplace out of your way it's not going to hurt anything either.]]> Wed, 27 Jul 2011 11:33:29 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/wondershare-photorecovery/#comment-140507 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/wondershare-photorecovery/#comment-140506 Wed, 27 Jul 2011 09:16:05 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/wondershare-photorecovery/#comment-140506 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/wondershare-photorecovery/#comment-140505 Wed, 27 Jul 2011 09:06:25 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/wondershare-photorecovery/#comment-140505
