[Recuva defective for photo files recovery]

I've been using Recuva for quite some times and finally discovered that it does a poor job recovering deleted image files from a SD card.

 

I ran a test on a SD card that was formatted and new files stored on it.

 

Recuva recovers some files only, even with a deep scan activated

In comparison, Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery is excellent and recovered 100's

 

Why such a difference regarding photos?

What is so special about this type of files?

[Scan filters]

The drives getting very large, it would be a great improvement having the capability to scan only specified folders or file name or type

[Bug v1.04.104 on C drive scan]

I have a partitionned HD with Recuva installed on D:

When I launch the scan on C drive, Recuva immediatly close down

It works fine on D drive

 

I run Recuva v1.04.104

MS Windows XP Pro SP2 on a laptop Dell D610

Pentium 1.6GHz, 1.5GB RAM

60GB HD partitionned NTFS C and D

Motherboard Dell D610 with Chipset Intel Alviso-G i915GM

HD is TOSHIBA MK6026GAX (60 Go, 5400 RPM, Ultra-ATA/100)

 

When I was running Recuva v1.02, selecting a scan on C would simply hang the whole program.
