Viewing lost or deleted files

By selecting View as from Object menu, you can view a selected file as text, hexdump or via the in-build viewer.

The hexdump will show the data of the file in a new window as it is stored physically on-disk. The left side of that window will show the data as a series of bytes in hexadecimal form and the right side will show the data series represented as ASCII text.

The text viewer will interpret the data series of the file as ASCII (if the deleted data is no plain-text the text viewer will stop at the first occuring special character).

The in-build viewer will show common file formats in a seperate window. Since for most types the viewer needs to create a temporary file on your system drive, it is recommended not to use this option if you need to recover files of your system drive. Otherwise these temporary files could overwrite your deleted data.
