Default A few feature requests

RMF is a great peice of software for what it does however it could do some things better. Here are a few features that I'd like to see in future versions.

1. Unicode support
I had quite a bit of files with Korean (hangul) letters in the filename and viewing/recovering these files RMF it's all '??????' in the filename and RMF seems unable to save these files.

2. Rename filename ability in search results
This goes hand-in-hand with unicode support. Actually it could go in place of unicode support. When RMF tries to save the files I have that has some Korean letters I get this message: ''Cannot create file (insert file path). The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect." The external drive I'm recovering from shows up My Computer but I cannot browse it so I cannot rename the files. It'd be great if RMF had a feature to rename files before recovering (like in the search results window). Or give the option of renaming files when the cannot create file error message pops up.

3. A Pause feature while saving files
Recovering large files especially videos can be very resource intensive. I have anywhere from 80 to 99% of CPU usage while saving files with RMF. That leaves little resources to run other programs to continue my daily or important tasks. I have a couple hundred gigs of files to recover (mostly videos) so keeping this running all day long I can't do much of anything without fear of a freeze up. It'd be great to have a pause feature while saving so one could temporarily stop the recover process and run other software that might also resource intensive.
