It is possible there is a temporary .gno file left on your computer.


I am searching right now. What might the temp .gno file be named?? Hell, I'll just try them all. Smile Hope is a wonderful thing!!

The file is appended the following name: TemporaryBackupYYYYMMDD.gno (where YYYY MM DD is the date when the file was saved)

If your original file was named Johnnycrash-2011.gno, then the temporary backup file will be named something like Johnnycrash-2011TemporaryBackup20111116.gno 

Just search for any .gno file on your computer.

Well, I found a bunch of .gno files. None with the backup nomenclature. But's that's OK. I did find one file in "Documents and Settings" named FamilyTree.gno . It was created on 6/19/2011. Opened it, and MOST of my data was there. So, I only lost about 4 month's work. Still sucks, but not nearly as bad as it did yesterday.

I have a lot of work to re-do, but it's mostly rearranging stuff. I did a lot of tidying up, and formatting to make it look pretty (and more useful). I only have to re-enter about 70 people. Better than thousands...

Thank you GenoProSupport!!! BigGrin

Also, note:  there is an online backup service provided by GenoPro, for free.  Use it periodically...

Any file which was saved as a .png was NOT a GenoPro file.  GenoPro cannot reconstruct a family tree from a .png or a .jpeg.  Have you tried the "File Find" dialog which will search all your drives and folders for any .gno file?

I searched all the files and none opens with the correct name. The file opens for a split second with a gno shaded page and disappears.
It seems the best I can do, is cry goodbye.
Thanks a million for your efforts to help.

Do you have other emails you may have done a backup to our server, or someone to whom you sent your family tree by email, or some external USB/Flash drive, or some old computer?

Hello Master,

No unfortunately I don't have any trace. I even looked thru my Recycle bin.
I'll have to reconstruct
I didn't realize, I removed the old gno program. I have downloaded the new 2016, and I was able to create a new gno file, which I was not able in the old program.
Now I realize that I cannot open the new file, just as I wasn't able to open and old one. I created a file, gave it a name. That's all it does not open. I am attaching the new 2016 blank file.
What can I do?

If you have any old .gno file, GenoPro 2016 will be able to open it.  GenoPro can only open its files, as it cannot interpret a .png or a .jpeg file as family tree.
