Ifran view

[breakit]

Hello

Is there anyone here can help me with this little problem before the wife finds out [purple]
Im using Ifran view version 3.8 and have been for a while now I have been impressed with this great piece freebee software up until today, when I did a batch conversion renaming 450 photos

I have done this before and not had a problem.

I Know where the problem is but don't know if its solvable this is what I did

The last time I did a batch conversion I set the output directory to D:\pics\People\Harry jay\Renamed\I have deleted the folder since and today I did a batch conversion renaming 450 photos and set the batch rename settings to RENAME INPUT FILES and checked the box OVERWRITE EXISTING FILES, what I did not do was change the output directory which was D:\pics\People\Harry jay\Renamed\ and that folder doesn't exist anymore. I started the conversion not realising this, now all the pic's (450 in total) I had of our new born baby have disappeared seemingly because the output directory didn't exist. I would have thought that the program would have prompted me that the folder didn't exist, but it didn't and did the conversion anyway. I'm praying and hoping you guys can tell me that there's a way I can get my precious pic's back, where would they have gone, there not in the recycle bin, and there's no undo. I have wrote to Ifran view to ask there advice they said that the pic's might be restored if I use special software like Undelete etc. utilities, e.g. Norton Utilities or similar to restore the files, Well I have R-undelete but the photos are nowhere to be found. Have they gone forever or is there anything I can do to get em back

Oh dear Im rather embarrassed about this. The pic,s I thought I had lost
were all sat in my D drive thank god. I did a search on my compuer for
*.jpeg and that revealed all of the ones i thought I lost they were in the D
drive I should have thought to do a search first. so that means that if the
output path for the directory dosnt exist the the program will put the pic's
to the nearest part of the file path that been D.

Hell I wont forget that basic routine ever.
