Thread: Recovering a .gzip to original state

hi there,

trying copy file desktop folder. accidently released mouse while hovering on .gzip file.

ubuntu file system did not add file .gizp file. deleted contents of .gzip file , .gzip file contains file accidently moved it.

normal behavior of ubuntu file manager?

furthermore, .gzip file contained important financial data. there anyway can recover original state?

thank you.

on second thoughts of might have happened:

1. ubuntu file system deleted original .gzip
2. ubuntu file system created new gzip same name , newly added file content.

so, may rephrase question "how recover deleted file that's not in trash?"

also, i've verified peculiar behavior of system's archive manager. created new archive , put dumb files in it. dragged, using mouse, file on top of it. showed "+" sign indicating adding file archive. upon release of mouse, , examining archive, had added file. dumb files gone. normal?

it's worth, i'm running ubuntu 11.04 (don't know kernel) classic gnome interface (no unity)

can help?

in advance.
mo
