I changed the default app and that did not open the txt files normally.

#1 Post by chrisinri »

When I first used PhotoRec the TXT files opened normally.

Now they open like the below.

I changed the default app and that did not open the txt files normally.

When I open a folder with the file images they appear normal then a second later they change to the source code format below or whatever that is:

Do you have this problem with latest 7.1-WIP ?
In PhotoRec, disable txt and tx? file family in FileOpts and try again a data recovery. Do you get better results ?

Hi Chris,

I am using the most recent download from your site for OSX. I have OSX 10.11.6

I am trying to get .doc and docx files.

I will disable txt and tx but then how do I get the doc and docx files?

Thank you,
Chris
