Also take care to adjust your settings regarding windows focus and similar, mistakes are always easier when using a gui than a shell. Also it's good to setup a daily/weekly rsync command to backup useful data. | |

| May 25, 2022 at 18:01 | comment | added | markling | Aha - .trashinfo. I missed that signpost! Moving to trash changes a file's inode??? That's ctime, right? I found grep "2022-05-24" *, for example, in the trash/info dir, gave nice. (The only problem is, bizarrely, that by the times I find in my Trash dir now, I seem not to have deleted any files for the last week and a half! I'm baffled). | |
