Hello, First off it's a great tool very effective and it does the job splendidly!
I only have one wish. For me it would be perfect if PhotoRec had a option where i could discriminate files based upon their size.
Example, a HDD that's been used for years as a office pc. Often I find myself having to deal with 100.000+ 1kb thumbnail images
In the process of removing 4GB worth of 1kb files it seems like my system could catch fire any moment. Besides it taking annoying long to get rid of such a number of very tiny files
Even with high-end hardware, SSD m.2 for OS/Programs and a ZFS array with 6 HDD's for storage of the recovered files.
For me (and maybe others) It would be great if there was a option to not save those kind of files. Something like: Don't save files equal to 1~10KB / 10-100KB/ 100kb-1mb/ or even bigger like corrupt jpg files that are 300MB
Feature Request: Don't save files smaller than X Kb
