Camera plugged into 12.3 x64 PC via USB. Copied photos from: /var/run/media/john/NO NAME/DCIM/ to /home/data/_data/draw/camera/temp/, (2 dolphin windows open) waited for copy to complete, (checked with 'Notifications & Jobs'), and several minutes later, selected all files in /var/run/media/john/NO NAME/DCIM/ and deleted (no, didn't move to trash :-( ) and watched ALL (ie files in BOTH windows) get deleted....
Don't know, but... Open a second instance of whatever file browser you wish and check to see that your files arrived at their destination before deleting. Suggest you use mc, midnight-commander, in a text box for safer operation and "move" the files from camera to <destination>.
Hard lesson learned (hope I didn't want any of those photos...).
Recovery of the files *is* possible and not that difficult, install photorec. But... (there it is again). Recovery is very *unlikely* if you have used the camera memory or photocard since you lost your photos. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
