Let users select dirs to recover BEFORE DeepScan

Recuva
1

Occasionally I have to recover huge file archives from certain directories on external USB hard disks.

When I use Recuva with DeepScan I have to wait at first approx 3 hours until the DeepScan run is finished.

Afterwards I have to select which directories to recover and where to place the recovered files.

In the second step I have to wait again for some hours until recover job is done.

So when I launch the first DeepScan job in the evening before I leave office/university and return next morning I still have to do the second step.

This is annoying.

Since it should be easy to show almost immediately the deleted directory tree (other undelete tools can) Recuva should be able

to group step 1 + 2.

Recuva should show all the deleted folders, let the user choose which to recover and where to copy the files BEFORE all starts.

Then Recova should start the deepscan and proceed as soon as it is finished automatically with the recovering.

Could you add this option in the next release?

Thank you

Thomas

This seems pretty dangerous to me. A mistype, or simply not getting the format exactly right, of the file/directory name could mean the difference between trying to recover say 20 files or 200,000. I know I get the format wrong from time to time.
