[mobile-org] Recovering notes

[mobile-org] Recovering notes

[Marcelo de Moraes Serpa]

Hey guys,

I have a small situation with mobileorg. I removed the files from the
WebDav repo by accident, but I had lots of notes taken into mobileorg
(iPod touch). I tried to sync by accident and the notes are gone. This
is not a life-or-death situation, but it would be nice if I could
recover my notes somehow -- does mobileorg keep them in a cache
somewhere (maybe I could access via ssh / jailbroken iPod).

If it's not possible, maybe this could serve as a new feature
suggestion, to at least keep backups of captured items (or all the
items on the iPhone OS, for that matter).

Thanks,

Marcelo.

Hi Marcelo,

If you happened to plug in your device somewhat recently and a backup
was made through iTunes, you may be able to dig through the backup and
find the sqlite database MobileOrg uses.  You might also be able to
find a temp Org-file the app uses.

Feel free to email me off-list and I can help you try to track that
down if you choose to go that route.

Hope this helps.  I'll see if I can recreate this problem and issue a
warning instead of losing notes.
