no, my files were/are in Users/jam/.leo There are a few .leo files there, but the only one that might be it (the primary file I wrote in since March) has only March entries in it. Confusing. Mac Finder says it was created, last modified and last opened at 7:39pm on March 31. Seems strange. I stopped paying attention to the name of the file, Leo just opened it every day and I continued writing in it, not thinking about the name, so I cannot be certain the March 31 file I find is it, but if so, it's somehow lost all data since March 31. Other leo system files in that directory are dated 12-12-2020, which is the day this happened, so that appears to be the active leo directory at the time. My focus now is on finding that file. It's more important than what went wrong. I currently have a grep search going for a text phrase that I know is in the file (but can be in several others as well) Been going for several hours only on the Users/jam directory. It has so far found seven files containing the phrase, none of which contain the lost data. Could the March 31 file have gotten corrupted, fragmented? If so, it seems I should still be able to find the raw data on the drive. I lost an important file five years ago, on Windows at the time, and was fortunate enough to locate the data on the drive with a specialized data finding program. Anyone know of a good one for Mac? I'll see if I can find that program again but don't know if it works on Mac. On Monday, December 14, 2020 at 7:47:10 AM UTC-5 Edward K. Ream wrote:
