Summary:camera-rescue v0.0.1
Project:rescue-camera

This is the first release of a tool that I have already used in "real life". If you take a lot of picture, or if friends of you do so, you should have already seen a memory card crashed.

This can happen for various reasons:
* you remove the card while the camera is flushing it
* you remove the battery while the camera is flushing the card
* the card just crash

Most of the time, it happens when the picture are really important.

This tool helps you to recover the JPEG files from the card by looking for JPEG markers. This is quite efficient (scan 8GB in less than 10min, using a dump of the card) and helps to recover the pristine picture, with its metadata.

So far, the program helps me to save a trip to Marrakech and a wedding.
