Simon crashed and now I'm missing data

Tue, 2010-01-05 11:51 — willoneal

Help.... It's not as serious as it sounds, but night before last, Simon crashed, or the machine lost power - something happened that cause Simon to no longer check.

When I turned the machine back on, I did the update to 2.5.5, and now all of my reports are missing.

Where are they stored? Is there any way to get them back?

Re: Simon crashed and now I'm missing data

I'm sorry to hear that. I haven't heard of data loss like that before, but I suppose if the machine lost power at the precise wrong time, when the file was being saved, it could happen. Would be a major fluke, though: the data is written out in a way that should avoid that possibility.

Anyway, the data is stored in the ~/Library/Application Support/Dejal/Simon folder. You could perhaps revert this folder from a backup to get the data back, though of course you'd lose any changes you've made since then.
