Hi, I selected about 20 tasks and was going to move them to a different task list (to my "work" list). I pressed ctrl-x to cut them, and evolution crashed. When I re-opened evolution, the entire list of tasks I had selected had disappeared! This means my entire list of tasks for work is gone! Help! Is there any way I can recover these? I would be very grateful for any suggestions,
I had a similar problem as this, although my crash was during a sync
with my Palm. The effect was that the task items went "invisible" --
they were still there but Evolution only showed an empty task window.
(Please note that I use Evolution 2.2.3).
The problem was corrupted settings in the "view" somewhere. Nobody was
able to give me specific answers on how to find/fix such corruption, so
my only recourse was the following:
(warning: the following steps will erase any special "view" settings
you have configured for your Tasks display)
* Close Evo
* Stop all Evolution "background processes" by using the commands
"evolution --force-shutdown" and then "gconftool-2 --shutdown"
* Move or delete the folder "~/.gconf/apps/evolution/tasks"
* Launch Evolution again (the normal way). If it worked, your
tasks should be visible again. If it didn't, you're having a
different problem.
HTH.
