In that case, go into the folder that contained the file, and then enter TM. Now go back to a day when the file existed and exit the controls and return to the folder by using the window chooser to select the folder Now browse to the file you want to restore. If you don’t see it, then you probably didn’t go back far enough, so make sure yu know when the file existed. Now, bring up the context menu for the file with VO shift M and you’ll see an option to restore the file. A dialog will come up asking where you want to restore the file to.
I just figured this step out in the last few minutes by doing a little experiment. I deleted a file in my Documents folder, and then went back to yesterday in TM and came back to the documents folder and found the file, then instead of going back into the controls window, I just looked in the context menu and voila, the restore option was available from there. The biggest discovery was finding the controls window in the window chooser. Before that I couldn’t figure out how to go back in time either. . > On Mar 13, 2015, at 11:26 AM, Sarai Bucciarelli <sarai.bucciare...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Oh, yay!
