• I recovered a file that Klix showed as corrupt. When I click on it in the Finder, it shows me a good picture, but when I try to open it, it fails. What's going on?
  
  Many photo files contain a small thumbnail image embedded near their beginning. Chances are that the picture you recovered is corrupt or incomplete somewhere past the end of that embedded thumbnail in the file. When you click on that file in the Finder, it finds the embedded thumbnail and displays it, without looking at the whole file. But when you try to open the file, the full image is needed, and if that isn't present or is corrupt, the open will fail.
  
  Unlike Finder, Klix uses the full-sized image to make its thumbnail, rather than using any embedded thumbnail with a good image, the chances are excellent that the full sized picture will open properly.
