Btw., is there any KIO slave or applicatio= n for=20 KDE with similar functionality? My target usecase was: OS is so mis-configured it won't even boot. I wa= nted to=20 pass a parameter to kernel to make it discard some recent changes and g= o on=20 with a slightly older version of files. Another usecase was: due to bug in older kernel FS had a few recent=20 checkpoints corrupted. It's either back files up and re-format the file= system,=20 or roll back a few minutes to an older, correct checkpoint. Regards, --=20 dexen deVries [[[=E2=86=93][=E2=86=92]]] =46or example, if the first thing in the file is: an XML parser will recognize that the document is stored in the traditi= onal=20 ROT13 encoding.
