Recover deleted playlist folder

jonasna

I accidentally deleted a playlist folder. Any way to recover? I don't find any of the playlists in the collection.nml file with text search. also, the collection_2024y09m12d_13h24m36s.nml file(s) don't seem to have them. I can recover some pieces just from the history files, but nowhere complete. Any help??

I was able to recover most of my playlists by replacing the collection.nml file with a renamed backup version collection_xxx.nml . My mistake was that I tried to import these as playlists. My bad, but glad the work is recovered. Thanks for the help @lord-carlos

I'm very sure the playlists you create with traktor are in the collection_xxx.nml files.

You do mean the playlist you create INSIDE traktor, right?

jonasna

Yes, created inside traktor. when i import the .nml files with relevant dates i worked in the playlists, i only see a single very old playlist i have not worked on during these dates. Also when i do a text search for the playlist titles in any of those .nml files, there are no hits. The files are also very small. Puzzling.

Even the ones from the backup folder?

jonasna

Yes. I have only checked the ones from recent dates when i made the important changes to the playlist. I will look at older backup files.
