Hi Brian here,
I just lost 4 days of a scan of a disk, because I pressed enter instead of p.
One keypress and the 4 day scan is gone?
Story: 5tb external, went loopy, recognized as unformatted on pc and mac. Quick scan says its got to search 9767541167 sectors and that took 4-5 days. Just now, its done, I'm happy, it lists a couple dozen possible partitions, I'm going through the list and fat fingered the enter key, instead of the P key (near as I can tell), next screen says 'Ok, would you like to "Quick Scan". Try to no avail to get the previous scan back. <sigh> Can I suggest an option that prevents a user from leaving a scan without a 'are you sure?'. Dream would be a 'would you like to save this scan data so that you could resume this process?'
Thanks for a tool that will surely save my files, much appreciation.
'Brian
Can an 'Are you sure' be added to Done??

In TestDisk 7.1, it's possible to return to previous results when at least a partition is marked as primary or logical.
I have uploaded a new 7.2-WIP where you can always returns to quick or deeper search results.
