Why might photorec do this?
Posted: 30 Nov 2025, 01:08
I used a scripted run of photorec to recover everything on a usb stick. It recovered lots of files including pdf and gnucash.
I then did a test and searched only for pdf and it returned just pdf. I then did the same for gnucash and it recovered nothing.
I wonder why that might happen? It's certainly capable of finding gnucash files but leaves me a bit worried files will get left behind if I search for a specific file type.
Thank you for any insight.
