Photorec in windows: no such file opening from another folder?

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to recover files from a e01 file from command line.
From 7.1 release, if the file isn't in program directory (photorec_win.exe <file.e01 with path>), I can't open it (no such file or directory).
With old 7.0 release the command work correctly.
Another question: can the gui version (qphotorec_win.exe) open e01 file?
Thank you

I doubt that. Try 7.2 WIP anway. If your path contains space symbols you would need to use the "-symbol to delimit the path string. Right issues may play a role. Try to simplify your problem. Shorten the name of the e01-file, put the Testdisk folder content into the location where your e01-file resides so that stating a path is not needed.

No.

Thank you for your reply!
I've tried to delimit path with "-symbol, but never change..
With e01 data and programs in the same directory, it work.. but I would like to keep it in different folder.. with 7.0 it was possible!
7.1 and 7.2 give same problem...
Thank you

What you describe is not sufficient to eliminate a possible error in code. A detailed error description is needed that shows the questions and answers on command line level. The way you describe nobody will take care of it.

Ok: in windows 10, I have photorec in a directory named "d:\testdisk-7.2-WIP", an image file in a directory named "d:\data".
From PowerShell (as Administrator):
Code: Select all
D:\testdisk-7.2-WIP> .\photorec_win.exe D:\data\image.e01
return this error (with 7.1 or 7.2 release):
Code: Select all
Unable to open file or device D:\data\image.E01: No such file or directory
and the program exit. With 7.0 release this command work instead.
If I move image.e01 in testdisk-7.2-WIP directory, this command work:
Code: Select all
D:\testdisk-7.2-WIP> .\photorec_win.exe .\image.e01
Thank you

What does .\ stands for?
When being in the Testdisk folder wanting to call an executable just writing "photorec_win.exe" should be OK.

Windows PowerShell doesn't load commands from the current location by default. ".\" is current location

Please try out if you face the same problems when using the standard shell "cmd.exe".
