To recover everything, select the directory itself instead of individual files inside this directory.
If undeleting from NTFS, you can use 'f' to add a filter (ie. part of the directory name) and 'a' to select everything, 'C' to copy what you have selected. The key 'r' reset all the filters. It's possible to add several filters by applying successive filters.

The keys are case-sensitive:
- C to copy the selected files
- c to copy the current file
