[Feature Request] Show % for drive sectors

#1 Post by justinzobel »

Hi Team,

Love the product, just asking for a small improvement.

When recovering files using photorec I'd like to be able to see progress as a percentage. Large drives (TB) have 10 or 11 digit sectors and without commas it's quite hard to read.

If possible I'd like to see a percentage done at the end so I can see how far I am at a glance.

I know there's a time left but that varies wildly as the drive speed varies and what type of file is being recovered / sectors being scanned.

Thanks in advance.

Justin

PhotoRec may rescan some sector range, it jumps backward to deal with file fragmentation.
It's technically possible to show a "%" for the sectors, but it doesn't match the progression...
