Lost all masters, need way to merge previews to master as replacement
Hi all,
Recently I accidently deleted the folder that contained most of my library (I didn't think they were refenced, I assumed they were all in my library file, but unfortunately this was not true) and this is causing me a major problem.
My first step was to run Stellar Phoenix Disk Recovery, which was doing well until it broke my second external drive that they were being copied onto. I then scanned it again and put them onto a ExFat volume. However there are now issues with this volume, and the folders are not showing up in finder or Aperture. I can see the files in terminal and at present am trying to copy them over via rsync.
Therefore I need advice regarding the following:
- Being able to see the files and folders containing my found images on my ExFat volume. If this works it will be very much benefical and may save the need to do the latter.
- As a last resort, I may need to merge the previews into the masters, as otherwise I will no longer have any copy of the images files.
I've pretty much lost all of my images from my life, so would really appreciate some help here. 🙂
Thanks,
Phil
