Recuva cannot save unicode filenames list properly

Recuva cannot save unicode filenames list properly.

 

Recuva is able to find unicode (french+russian) filenames correctly (it displays it in the list)

but cannot save this list to a text file.

 

The reason is Recuva saves 'deleted_files.txt' in ANSI (windows-1252) encoding. All russian characters become '?' marks.

 

Suggested solution: save the original filenames from NTFS partition (NTFS stores filenames into UCS-2).

 

Can you provide a workaround?

Or send me a version with this bug fixed?

This portable freeware utility can capture and save to a text file the results presented by Recuva and may meet your need

Thanks for pointing me SysExporter, Alan_B! Seems it is usefull utility.

 

But it doesn't help in my case because it exports into 8-bit encoding text files too (as Recuva itself).

I have tried SysExporter 32-bit under win7x32 and SysExporter 64bit under win7x64.

 

SysExporter saves file using ISO-8859-1 encoding: it replaces cyrillic symbols to '?':'

E:\Files\Espa<F1>a\Barcelona\????\

(example is for the same file as on my picture from my first post).

Sorry it failed.

 

It might be worth contacting the developer.

He may be able to advise of a work-around, or he might even add Unicode support.

May be worth hanging on until the next Recuva version.

 

I believe this is something the devs are working on at the moment.
