i use PC-Tools file recover
It has been fairly good in retreving files, but the issue is if you have already done something to try and recover files the base data for further recovery may be lost.
One thing I have learned is that I don't trust any program's file import / export
Although too late for these files, you should consider a standard approach to file downloading.
I always use a reader not a link to the camera
What I do, with file manager is make a copy of my card to a "transfer" directory on my hard disk.
I then do what ever batch rename, on the files in that directory.
my rename is for camera (istD or K10D), and file number to add leading 1 to the sequential file (I am above 9999 on each of my bodies). This way I can deal with multiple cameras that produce similar file numbers.
Then I copy them into a chronological year/month/event directory structure.
Only after I know I have the files in my chronological data and can open them,. do I erase my cards.
