Hi,

I tried to recover my files and found techtools to be poorly made.

For recovery, the complete drive is scanned. In my (German) translation TechTool displays a message like "deleting volume for recovery" - HEY, you want me to get a heart attack!? OK, but the "delete" seems merely a wrong translation.

However, after some hours my drive was scanned and I could pick my files to recover.

1) The filebrowser is totally buggy. When you open a folder and close it again, your display will be garbled and show files twice or whatever
2) There is no multiselect function in the filebrowser. The one thing you can do is you can select a whole folder.
3) I selected a folder, selected the output path and it was unable to save due to rights problems. All TechTools told me was "Operation Failed -35". Thank you for the information.
4) When I figured out it was a rights setting I tried again, and yes, it started working. However, it did not save to the destination path I gave TechTools, it saved to a path I used previously with TT.
5) After about 5 recovered files, TT stopped working. No error message, just a stop.

No, I don't want to go through the 14-hour-scan again now. I'll try DataRescue instead.

--> This is poorly designed software. Good functions, but buggy.
