How to identify the original source folder of files in the trash?

I am trying to help a friend who trashed a massive amount of files. Dragging files out of the trash to where they originated from works when one knows where files in the trash came from. What I need to know is how to find out which folder the files originated from. Pictures from iPhoto library, easy ... but there are others that are a mystery.
Any help is appreciated.
She is using a macbook running Leopard.

The only way anyone here could possibly tell where files came from would first have a list of the files with the exact file names. The files themselves don’t carry information of any previous paths, that I know of.
With the photos, as you said, easy. If they are applications, again, easy, Applications folder. But if they are System files, those can be scattered all over.
You said it is a massive number of files, so unless the vast majority are photos or applications, it would probably not be practical to make a list.

  • How to identify the standard ods / cubes are delta capable or not?

    Hi All,
    How to identify the standard ods / cubes are capable of handling delta o not ?
    Pls advise me on this!!
    Thanks
    Pooja

    Hi Pooja
    Delta capable is based on datasource but not on ODS or cube.
    You can get this info from ROOSOURCE table,give data source name and check the field "DELTA".
    If the field is left blank,it implies that the datasource is not delta capable.

  • How can identify the default currency for a customer?

    How can identify the default currency for a customer?
    I know that this is being determined when you create a sales order for a particular customer, for example, so I could break this process open and find out what it uses. But I thought it worth asking in this forum first.

    Hi Gary,
    As per my understanding of your question I am replying , If you are looking some thing else then I request you to please elaborate your query.
    If you see the BP sales area data in transaction BP, In billing tab you maintain the currency for a customer which is default currency when you create a sales order.

  • How to identify the type of pocketpc barcode scanner?

    How to identify the type of pocketpc barcode scanner whteher it is intermec or symbol?
    GS

    Hi,
    well, this is the brand of the PDA - the Scanner itself is build into the device. So if you have an intermec device - you have an intermec scanner and vice versa. It is not recommended to use a HP device for example with an external scanner. This scenario is not really supported by the MI setup guides.
    Hope that helps!

    I created a Word doc that simply has the word "Blue" in blue, then a space, then the word "Red" in red, all in the default font that Word started with (Times New Roman). The resulting document is 24,064 bytes. It starts off with 80 bytes of various hex values, mostly 0x00.Then 432 bytes of just 0xFF. Then 2048 bytes of various hex values, mostly 0x00. Then the text "Blue Red" (which appears twice more in the file). And so on...

  • How to Identify the Same Characters in 2 Different Strings

    Hi All,
    I am requiring a suggestion on how to identify the same characters in 2 different Strings, for example:
    String str1 = "hello";
    String str2 = "llheo";
    Both Strings contain the same characters, but in a different order, so what would be the best technique to verify t that both Strings indeed contain the same characters?
    I was personally thinking along the lines of using the class, java.util.regex.Pattern?
    Any thoughts would me much appreciated. Thanks

    I would instead sort the characters, and then compare
    the sorted data.
    I'm fealing generous
        private static boolean anagram(String left, String right)
            if (left.length() != right.length())
                return false;
            char[] leftChars = left.toCharArray();
            char[] rightChars = right.toCharArray();
            Arrays.sort(leftChars);
            Arrays.sort(rightChars);
            return Arrays.equals(leftChars, rightChars);
        }
