unable to open file to restart process on mac

To restart the recovery, simply select the same input, output, and log files again, changing any other settings you wish to change, and press the Start button.

For more detail, have a look at the user guide at https://www.hamishmb.com/html/Docs/ddrescue-gui.php

Hello,

I tired that but, all it says is save and it says it will override it.

I would say there should be a file and open command. But the filemenu is
empty.

It will work - read the user guide for more information on this. If you're concerned, you can always make a backup copy of the map file before you do this.

You received this question notification because you are subscribed to
the question.

As seen in pic it only says it will over write it. Should I say yes and
ignore it.
I would think it should say open somewhere.

Hi,

Yes you should say yes and ignore it, this is an issue on macOS where I can't silence the overwrite warning for some reason.

The "too many files" issue can occur when there are spaces in the filenames or paths to the files - I will release a fix for that soon, but in the mean time, you should be able to use macOS as you did before with no issues.

Hamish

its resuming now It was the HD file name that had a space.

Also ubuntu was able to resume it. better than mac

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

Oops, pretty sure this was solved, so marking as solved now.

This was solved, but was never marked as solved.
