Summary0000631: Delete all images when SD card filled.
Descriptionfirst time user.
Attempted to add location info to photos on sd card.
selected all photos
sync'd with gps data -> all default settings
-> success photo location shown.
attempted to save changes.
-> because an _original backup is made disk space is quickly exceeded
-> exiftool tool reported error. Windows (XP Pro SP3) reported device I/O error
-> all photo's deleted from SD card.
-> seriously deleted, 'light' tools not enough. needed 5 hours on "Zero Assumption Recovery" to get them back
Additional Informationphotos were seriously deleted, 'light' tools not enough. needed 5 hours on "Zero Assumption Recovery" to get them back

exiftool version 8.26. maybe a bug with that?

seems to be a fairly common use case, I wanted to add location to the photos, before importing them to my hard disk with picasa.
TagsNo tags attached.

I don't know why your files were deleted, but you can turn off the backup of your images:
File | Settings -> Tab "File Options"
here you have to choose your file type. Then select "Overwrite Original File when Saving Changes"
