Hi Matt,
xml.gz sounds like a hopeful extension for photorec to have used.
FWIW, the GC file I sent you the head from earlier has this as its tail:
</trn:split>
</trn:splits>
</gnc:transaction>
</gnc:book>
</gnc-v2>
<!-- Local variables: -->
<!-- mode: xml -->
<!-- End: -->
I take it you know about GC's default backup strategy and that you (probably)
have several (at least) similar data files - the usual advice to look for the
newest timestamp probably won't be much help after photorec has played with
the disk... I guess the largest one is probably the one to go for - at least,
largest when un-compressed...
Maf.
