I used WinHex to recover some Python files that I accidentally deleted. I used this method: Tools > Open disk > drilled down to the directory and found the files to recover and highlighted them and right clicked. I chose recover/copy and placed them in a new location. When I went to open the files I see square boxes and unusual characters where I'd expect Python code that I wrote. Is this a file signature issue or something else? WinHex recovered html files just fine. Any hints? Thank you, Sherri | ||

Not it is not a file signature issue. If the python files are existing files, you have to take a new volume snapshot. Then it was a caching issue. If the python files are deleted, they might be partially overwritten. WinHex does not have a file signature for python files, because they are just free-style plain text. But if you do use a special header in your python code, you could write a signature for the file signature table by your own. | ||

I guess they were partially overwritten. I thought they would be just plain text but I was hoping not. Watch out when deleting Aptana projects. They do not go to the recycle bin. I lost a bunch of work. :/ |
