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.
As I said, had 2 dolphin windows open, and definitely only had the files on the camera memory selected at the time. Might have to try a test and see if I can repeat (with files I don't want!) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
