After you recover files by signatures, you can use Active@ File Organizer to organize them in folders with readable (non-abstract) names.

The free evaluation version has full functionality of all features with a limitation only on maximum size of the file being restored.

File Organizer
The file organizer functions allow you to create folders based on information contained inside the file and outside the file system it is stored in, and move / copy the file to these folders. This is useful when you detected and recovered files by signatures, but recovered files have abstract names. The file organizer is primarily used to open files of a chosen extension, look at data contained within that file, create a folder structure that matches the data contained within the file and move / copy the file to that folder.
