This morning I recovered the pictures for four posts.
This is the one that forced me to take a break yesterday. The pictures were all missing, and because they had been taken at various different dates and I only had the text to guide me as to where they would be in my iMac photos I lost the will to continue. Having slept on it I traced them all today and provided the header picture.
The next one suffered from “Attempt Block Recovery” which I achieved, but titles have stayed missing. I therefore just dealt with one image and title in order to make it the header.
There was just one photograph missing from this next post. Fortunately I knew where to find it.
Like the second post above these galleries were recoverable, but without titles. The header needed the same treatment.
This afternoon I published https://derrickjknight.com/2023/03/10/droll-tales-12/
Our dinner this evening consisted of hot and spicy, and tempura, prawn preparations on a bed of Jackie’s colourful savoury rice, with which she drank Hoegaarden and I drank more of the Frappato – Syrah.
My goodness, so much work reinstating your older blog posts.
Thank you very much, Catherine
It’s funny how often we wake with new insight or new determination after a night’s sleep. It’s a reset button for humans and thank goodness for it.
Thanks very much, Susan
Amazing the good a break can do. Hope you are not still freezing. Your dinner sounds perfect on a chilly day. We are going to enjoy home made chili (one of my husband’s specialties.)
Your meal looks good. Thank you very much, Pat
I hope you can complete the reconstruction of photos to posts, derrick, that’s a big undertaking. ????????????
Thanks a lot, John
So much work. I don’t know if I’d feel like continuing, but I’m always better at doing things in the morning. ????
Me, too. Thanks very much, Merril
You’re welcome, Derrick.
I so admire the hard work you are doing! I know it must be frustrating at times.
Your stick-to-it-tiveness will pay off. Yes, sleeping on it…that is often so helpful!
(((HUGS))) for everyone at your house!
Thank you so much, Carolyn X
It’s a pain but you will know that your descendants will all be able to see the photos as well as your life story. An autobiography for all time. š
Thank you so much, Chrissy
Another productive day!
Thanks very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
You are doing a splendid job. I only wish I could help out on the recoveries, but it sounds as though the only way from now on is via your computer files.
One process that is also working is to load the the post as view rather than edit, then drag the pictures onto the desktop `and from there, one by one, into the image files – because of the time involved that’s a last resort. Never mind it is interesting reading previous posts again. Thanks very much, Sue, especially for your genuine wish to help out. š
Iāve been spending time each day reading and editing some of my old posts with a view to republishing some of the very early ones from when I had very few followers. Some of the posts I hardly remember writing, which is surprising, especially as I only back seven years!
Me, too
I wonder if it would work to have another window open, one of the image file at the same as your post view. Then drag and drop or copy and paste directly into the file.
I haven’t tried it, it’s just an idea that may or may not be feasible.
I’ll have a go
Iāve been giving it more thought and Iām guessing it might not be possible to drag a post image directly into the media file.
But once they’re on your desktop or in a folder you should be able to highlight a group and drag and drop into the media file.
I don’t upload my images, I open the media file and drag and drop in bulk into the file.
I’ll try the bulk approach. Thanks again, Sue
You have a lot more patience than me Derrick… I would have thrown the project out into the “Too Hard Basket” by now …
Cheers, everso, Ivor
Youāre supposed to be retired.????
Who ever does that? š
Making good progress!
Thanks very much, Laurie
What a difference a good night’s sleep can make! I enjoyed revisiting the Knight’s Tale post.
Thanks you very much, JoAnna
What an undertaking, Derrick!
Thanks very much, Rosaliene
You are definitely getting there, recovering your previous blog posts????
Thank you very much, Arlene
This has certainly put me off migrating my blog to another host
Thanks a lot, Sheree
Great job, Derrick.
I’d almost forgotten just how adorable that newborn donkey was!!
Thank you so much, GP
It’s really true that sleep can knit up the raveled sleeve of every sort of care. I’ve learned to recognize those times when it’s time to just stop, and begin again the next day. What’s most interesting is that if I’m stymied by need of a title or certain word I can’t recall, a little sleep will surface it in the morning. It’s as though my brain goes on, working the night shift.
I’m sure it does, Linda. Thank you very much
A tedious task but you are slowly recovering pictures.
Thank you very much, Andy
You’re welcome.
I remember that post about Wolf. He was a dear friend to you, and I am sure you still feel the loss keenly.
Thank you very much, Lavinia.
You’re impressive with your perseverance in recovering your photos. I had similar issues a while back but on a smaller scale. It seemed to take forever to get things back where they should be.
Thank you very much, Eugi
Most welcome, Derrick.
I’m so sorry it is such a chore to try and recover the photos from those past posts, Derrick. But your tenacity is inspiring. Have a wonderful weekend. Stay warm!!
Thank you so much, Jan
What a lovely head image!
Thank you so much, Dolly
My pleasure, Derrick.
I don’t think I’ll have the patience to search all the photos! Well done Derrick!
Thank you very much, Ribana
