OMG, so I lost all the information that was in the file????
I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, I just added a new record and I got the error!!!!
I have not updated Obisdian.
The only thing I did was to add a new row and I got the error. I didn't do anything "strange".
The information I had was very important...
Sorry, I was on my phone. Looking back at this on desktop. What operating system are you using?
EDIT: sorry I see that you provided that
Do you happen to have File History Feature enabled for windows?
EDIT: it would have had to been enabled before this occurred
Btw it does look like Obsidian updated for you. 1.5.11 is the latest version
I do not have this function enabled. I already tried to restore old versions of the .txt, but they do not exist.
Okay. I'm thinking in this case the only thing that you can do would to try to use data forensics software to find pieces of the data that still exist. You could index your drive and search via keywords. However, it is possible that only part of the data exists. I have actually never done this but this is the only solution I found.
Since the data is empty, the file was overwritten and that is actually harder to recovery than a file being deleted.
Okay, I guess and there is no way to recover the data....
I'm very sorry about that. I cannot guarantee that the plugin will work 100% of the time due to how updates come and make changes that are sometimes breaking.
I would recommend using the Obsidian Local Backup
plugin from now on. That way you can always have a backup available
Okay, don't worry. I understand what it's like to run a project alone. I will try to use the extension you recommend. Thanks
