this script is quite useful and performant. when photoRec gives you just unique filenames, it is fast to use mc (midnite commander) and this script to get ure recovered drive back in somewhat shape.

this blogsite kills indentation and therefore those python scripts. make sure you indent correctly after copy & paste. to run the script type:

python my-pasted-text.py

in a shell / command window. with correct indentation it works nicely.

Hi,
This looks so useful, but I can't make it work. Really, because I don't know anything of programing. Please help (detailed help).
I put the pdf files in the python folder
I run Python Shell
I copied from the Blog the script and pasted it in the Python window
Nothing happened.
I don't know, do I need to change some names in the script according to my data?
Please

Hi, pal.

I am facing exactly the same problem as Cartman's

But it’s far from a neat solution because many pdf creator won’t put real title as metadata that can be seen in native format or document property.

Is there any better way ?

nice! but the problem is, many pdf files on the internet do not have the title information inside them! I tried this on my collection, but did not find even one pdf file with "real title"! of course, the dvi file name from which the pdf was created, that was printed out though!

Thanks a lot, what a good script and library!
