Image recovery?
HI Esteban, I don't know how deep your problem is. What has worked for me is:
Open the changes file in a text editor.
Search down to the start of my personal changes.
Copy the remaining portion of the file into another file.
Then I hunt thru this changes fragment for the most recent version of my desired-to-save work.
Then I restart with a fresh or known checkpoint image and reapply the desired-to-save changes.
It is a little messy to do it this way but it also usually inspires thought and I make progress on my design during the recoveries.
I then get more virtuous about saving checkpoints before running risky code.
Hth.
Yours in service and curiosity, --Jerome Peace

Hi all,I have an image that is not working anymore,
and I can not take
control from that (the image starts, but i can't
press any key, not even
cmd+.) Is there a way to load the image (as an ImageSegment
or something like that)
so I can recover the objects I need?
Thanks in advance, Esteban -- "Querer es suscitar las paradojas" Camus. El míto de Sísifo.

Good advice from Jerome, and you you may also find some helpful tips on http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2168, "What to do if Squeak crashes or freezes".
