Hi Everybody, I have just accidently deleted a file that I have worked on for weeks. I know I now qualify for my stupidity award. Does anyone know of any way to retrieve this file. Forgive for asking and not searching, but my company's internet connection is down, and I fear the longer I wait the smaller the chance of retrieving the file. Thanks Marius Roets

Maybe libtrash is useful for earlier versions of SuSE which might not have had trash cans? Thanks for your answer. Best wishes, Ram.

Hello Zentara,

I don't use KDE, so it gives a trashcan capability independent of the desktop. -- I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

libtrash v1.5 is in SuSE 8.2 Pro. Version 2.1 is the latest. Stan

I'm sorry to have to say it, but you're basically stuck. The odds of getting back a file do, indeed, decrease markedly with time, and the expertise required to recover and the sheer volume of modern disk drives makes it more than a small challenge. For the future, though, you might check out Project Athena's undelete package. I've been using it for years and it's quite capable, very flexible, faster than a trash can method, and an absolute lifesaver :-) % % Thanks % Marius Roets HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) davidtg@justpickone.org * society and not sufficient moral courage.
