Re: Nikon D800 file recovery strips thumbnails from main jpg

the first one could well be (it came right after a .apple file), but all the other hundreds of small 512Byte files? or the large 16GB file?

Re: Nikon D800 file recovery strips thumbnails from main jpg

I went through the recovered files today, renamed them all, and just to be sure, used "diff" to compare the recovered files with the originals I still had - all the files I tested were identical! Thank you again!

Re: Nikon D800 file recovery strips thumbnails from main jpg

I just got back to my laptop, photorec has been recovering since 2:17 hours... now it's filling up my hard drive with thousands of .gz files, which it didn't do before your last update!

Re: Nikon D800 file recovery strips thumbnails from main jpg

Wow! It seems to be working!
I'm just running a test, and the first files (also the one that I sent you) are being recovered fully.
exiftool is not giving a warning anymore either, when I try to rename the files with exiftool '-filename<DSC_${FileNumber;}.%e' -r -ext JPG .

very cool. Thank you ...

Re: Nikon D800 file recovery strips thumbnails from main jpg

One more thing:
while renaming the files using exiftool, I get this warning:
Warning: [minor] Error reading PreviewImage from file
When I run the exact same command on the original file, I don't get that warning. It seems exiftool knows that there should be a PreviewImage in the JPG trailer, but ...

Re: Nikon D800 file recovery strips thumbnails from main jpg

OK, yes, I can confirm that the 7.0-WIP version does the same problem.

I've made a zip file of one original, and the 3 corresponding recovered parts (recovered by the 7.0-WIP version) and uploaded it here:

If you want, I can take some more sample ...

Re: Nikon D800 file recovery strips thumbnails from main jpg

I'll try right now. But it will probably take a while... last time, photorec recovered about 11GB.
Thanks already.

Re: Nikon D800 file recovery strips thumbnails from main jpg

OK, I just found some more info on this:

the original files are recovered in 3 parts:
txxxxx.jpg - about 10KB
fxxxxx.jpg - about 800KB
fxxxxx.jpg - about 20MB

(original - about 21MB)

I noticed that the size of the second preview image added to the size of the main recovered image is pretty much ...

Nikon D800 file recovery strips thumbnails from main jpg

Hi,

I recently had an SD card die on me while I was copying the files from it.
On it were about 6-8GB of photos and videos taken with a Nikon D800.

I was able to recover all the files, I think, but noticed something strange:
The thumbnail is saved as a separate file (yes, I know that's normal ...
