Hi Jane, In your History panel, the is an options pop-up menu where you can choose "Saved histories" and you will see all of your past histories. On Feb 17, 2012, at 1:45 PM, Jane Dorweiler wrote:

Greetings,

I am running galaxy locally (I believe it is distribution b258de1e6cea -- downloaded 6 Jan 2012 and haven't upgraded yet), and inadvertantly chose 'create new' under options which 'cleared' the history that I had been working with. I have not run anything since, so nothing should be overwritten, and in fact I can find the COMPLETE list of data files in galaxy-dist/database/files/000.

Is there any way that I can recover my history, or can I at least load desired .dat files from within that folder by navigating there using upload data?

Any help/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

And yes, I also need to reconfigure my local instance such that it will actually let me SAVE my histories, as it currently tells me I need to be 'logged in', but then won't let me log in. Perhaps there's a fix for that in more recent releases? But one problem at a time.

Thank you, Jane
