When I suggested this idea a few months ago, I was told that it is
inconvenient for users who would often have to write --no-blockfile because
their use cases don't need it. If that's the case, I suggest to have an
"expert" option at compile time so that the default command line becomes:

    ddrescue [options] infile outfile [blockfile]

This makes two inconveniences instead of one; having to compile ddrescue oneself, and having to write --no-blockfile when using a non-self-compiled ddrescue. All of it for the benefit of those who refuse to follow the wise advice offered to them in the manual, the man page and the --help output.

As I read somewhere, "build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will want to use it".


And many thanks for this wonderful software!

You are welcome.


Best regards,
Antonio.
