Re: [Evolution] undo task delete? trash bin for tasks?



Pete is right, but if you have no backup, you might try to recover the deleted records of the sqlite3 database. 
- Identify the database to restore (e.g. ~/.cache/evolution/calendar/..../cache.db
- save the database to an other location (e.g. ~/tmp)
- have a look into the database using the sqlite3 command. 
- The table should be "ECacheObjects". 
- The relevant object is the VEVENT data stored in column "ECacheOBJ".
- you can try to use tools like e.g. "undark", "SQLite Repair Tool", "SQLite Database Recovery"
- Its a lot of work and success cannot be guaranteed.

So better use a backup and enter the missing entries manually.

I have I cant figure out how to undo whatever it is I did to make all of 
my tasks disappear. 10 minutes of searching around old mailing lists, 
google, and the documentation and I have not found anything. Ctl Z does 
nothing.

Is there a trash bin for tasks somewhere? How do I restore old tasks?

When you delete a task there is a confirmation popup which says "All
information on this task will be deleted and can not be restored."  So
presumably no, there isn't a restore.

I suspect the best way of retrieving them is by restoring from a system
backup.
