I'm currently in hour 29 of Stage 1, have "3 days remaining," and the progress bar has been stuck at 31% for the last 20 hours. I'm new to disk recovery (in practice) and have been reassured that this is normal behavior for recovering a large drive. No doubt then this could take even longer than 3 more days, but I can't help but getting antsy with a progress bar that isn't moving.
Understandably recovery scans can take a very long time to complete, especially on a drive that is multiple terabytes large (this one is 4TB). This brings me to my feature request: If at all practical, a progress percentage display with, let’s say, 3 digits of precision would help assure people that the scan is progressing and isn’t stuck in a loop trap or some other software error. For example,
Current progress 31.123%, 5698766 file(s) found
then an hour later it might have incremented to
Current progress 31.127%, 5698766 file(s) found
That's not much progress, but it is nonetheless visible progress. Or maybe display more detailed activity progress info, like
Scanning sector 123 of 4294967296.5 bad sectors encountered so far.
