Is there any way to recover a note that was typed in but I never hit Enter? And rebooted the computer.

Hi Michael,

If xpad works correct, it should auto save the text in the pad each 4 seconds, with or without an Enter pressed.
It should save this information in your home folder at ~/.config/xpad in one of the content-xxxxxx files.

If it is life or death, I would advise you to send your harddisk or SSD to a professional data recovery company.

Br,
Arthur

I am still not very familiar with the Ubuntu file system. Could you please be more specific as to how I can find that file. I cannot stress enough the importance of getting this information back, but I can tell you that I am beyond grateful for your assistance.

Try to open the file explorer in Ubuntu (see Google how) and try to get the
file explorer to show hidden files (CTRL+H or see Google).

Then navigate to your user home folder, for example Michael. After that you
might see a folder called .config
In that folder you might see a folder called xpad. In that folders there
might be multiple files with maybe a couple of 'lost' files starting with
the word content.

Still if it is that important I advise you to get professional help.

I don't have Ubuntu, but this screenshot should help you.

Click the folder icon on the left top, which should open the File Manager
of Ubuntu.

Click the [Wheel] at the right top --> [View] --> [Show hidden files].

Now click [Home] --> [.config] --> [xpad]

Did you find the folder?

Thank you for the quick response. I made a mistake. It is not the Xpad notepad that I have. It is Notes 1.8.1 I apologize for the confusion. I feel like an idiot. But, knowing that is there any way to retrieve the info on Notes 1.8.1?

Thank you
