I am writing a book and I had all the chapters in separated .lyx files.
I was trying to put everything together and I did no succeed. Now all my
.lyx files are empty while the .lyx~ seem to be OK. How can I recuperate my
content (i.e., the .lyx files?). I also have the .odf but those are
probably useless. Thanks.
If this happened to me, the VERY FIRST thing I'd do is copy off the directory
tree as it currently exists. That way, at least I could keep going back to my
current condition if attempts to resolve make things worse.
You do have daily backups, don't you?
And if .lyx~ is OK, then just rename it as .lyx, and it should re-open.
But FIRST, as Steve said, make backups.
