Restore backup

Post by Native2904 »

Hello,
sry to trouble you again, but I serviced my XY yesterday (holiday between the public holidays) and labelled all scripts in the comment's column->

and during the course of the day, the XY crashed (I am using the 28.10.0203 beta).
It seems that it did not take over any of the adjustments I made->

Now, the XY has a built-in backup function (I hope I have understood correctly.), so I wanted to know if it is possible that it has saved these adjustments so that I can retrieve them?

That backup function kicks in when you save settings, not when it crashes.

Look in your AutoBackup folder and check if the tag.dat file has anything left from what you did.
Probably not though...

You should really activate this for the future
Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Save Settings | [x] Save changes to disk immediately
and in the "Apply to..." config window activate the "Tags" part

Okay, thanks, I've activated the fuses. Unfortunately everything was deleted..

You can use text recognition software or online to retrieve and restore your tags from the screenshot quickly enough.

Not sure if it is too late, or if you are even interested, but I wrote a quick script that should re-apply the comments again for you based on OCR, the 4 items that are end truncated you will of course have to add the last few chars again afterwards. I didn't thoroughly check the OCR accuracy, but it looks pretty good to me from a glimpse.

Code: Select all

  $itms = "Junc&Branch.xys|Properties-v2.xys|7-zipXY.xys|Calculate audio playtime_v0.4.xys|tagging.xys|Create waveforms_v0.3.xys|Rename Folder 2 Mp3Tag.xys|MyTabsets.xys|Open GPS.xys|GoTo.xys|Convert image(s) to icon.xys|XYCollector.xys|XY icon copy_v0.7.xys|ImportTCComments_v0.5.xys|Ersetzt Punkte durch leerzeichen vor der Erweiterung.xys|Slideshow.xys|Extract images from pdf v0.1.xys|XYplorer-Icon-kürzel.txt|Everything|CTBToolTipTitle|SessionManager|ColumnEdit|ShowHelpTopic|QuickieSearch";
  $cmts = "Script zur Verwaltung und Analyse von Verknüpfungen, Junctions und Branches innerhalb von Verzeichnisstruk|Script zur erweiterten Anzeige und Bearbeitung von Datei- und Ordner-Eigenschaften innerhalb des Dateimana|Script zur direkten Integration von 7-Zip-Funktionen (Packen, Entpacken, Archivverwaltung) innerhalb des D|Script zur Berechnung der Gesamtlaufzeit markierter Audiodateien.|Script zur automatischen Vergabe, Verwaltung und Synchronisation von Dateitags innerhalb des Dateimanagers.|Script zur automatischen Erstellung von Audio-Wellenform-Vorschauen für markierte Audiodateien.|Script zum Übertragen von Ordnernamen auf MP3-Tags, um Dateien automatisch zu taggen.|Script zum Speichern, Verwalten und Wiederherstellen von Tab-Gruppen innerhalb des Dateimanagers.|Script zum schnellen Öffnen von GPS- oder Geodaten-Dateien in zugeordneten Programmen oder Viewer-Anwendun|Script zum schnellen Navigieren zu vordefinierten Ordnern oder Pfaden innerhalb des Dateimanagers.|Script zum schnellen konvertieren markierter Bilddateien in .ico-Dateien.|Script zum Sammeln, Exportieren oder Zusammenstellen von Dateiinformationen aus markierten Dateien.|Script zum Kopieren und Übertragen von Datei-lcons zwischen Dateien oder Ordnern.|Script zum Importieren von Total Commander-kommentaren aus .descript.ion-Dateien in XYplorer-Tags.|Script zum ersetzen von Punkten durch Leerzeichen im Namen.|Script zum automatischen Anzeigen markierter Bilder als Diashow innerhalb oder über XYplorer.|dazu wird poppler verwendet welches im Tools Ordner liegt|---|Script zur Integration der „Everything“-suche, um Dateien blitzschnell über den Dateinamen zu finden.|Script zur Anzeige von Tool Tip-Titeln oder zusätzlichen Informationen beim Überfahren von CTB-Buttons.|Script zum Speichern, Laden und Verwalten von Arbeits-Sessions mit geöffneten Tabs und Pfaden.|Script zum schnellen Bearbeiten und Anpassen von Spalteninhalten in der Dateiansicht.|Script zum direkten Aufrufen bestimmter Hilfethemen oder Dokumentationsseiten innerhalb des Dateimanagers.|Script für schnelle, gezielte Dateisuche innerhalb markierter Ordner oder der gesamten Bibliothek.";
  $i = 1; foreach($f, $itms) {
    $f = quicksearch("""$f"" /l=1 /fuzzy=30 /n", <xyscripts>);
    if ($f) { comment gettoken($cmts, $i, "|"), $f; }    $i++;
  }

Thank you very much, Jupe :!:
I rewrote everything again yesterday, but I probably should :idea: have just waited a bit and had some coffee :cup: instead.
I'm tempted to just try out this script, but I made two changes yesterday.
  • 1) I completely deleted the ColumnEdit Directory – because I can't use it without errors.
  • 2) I deleted the CTBToolTipTitle Directory and moved the script to the base Directory – because this script has no dependencies and therefore doesn't clutter up my script folder.
So I’ll leave it as it is — better not to over-tweak it and make things worse.

Thanks again, much appreciated.

Let me know if you can reproduce that crash. It cannot be tolerated.

Unfortunately, I can’t fully reconstruct it, as I had many tabs open — including some network paths that were also open in TC for FTP file copying.
At some point, XY froze and crashed (for the first time in about 8 months of "intensive" use).
It’s also possible that my HP 250 G5 notebook played a role.
