Using PhotoRec

#1 Post by slowspeed »

I opened my terminal window and typed in:

Code: Select all

sudo photorec
The program text displayed correctly. The arrow keys allowed me to move to the drive I desired. However, from that point on, nothing activated. I pressed Enter and nothing happens but the cursor moves up a line.

I finally figured it out by moving all the way down to the bottom of the list and saw that the right and left arrows move the selection at the bottom to the desire point. The directions to use the Enter key are wrong.

The correct directions are to used the right arrow key to move to Proceed, and only then to use the up and down arrows to select the drive. Once selected, one may now use the Enter key to proceed to the next screen.

I hope this helps someone else.

Thanks.

I have uploaded a new 7.2-WIP with "Select a media and choose 'Proceed' using arrow keys:" instead.
Thanks for reporting the problem.
