Reverting a saved file to previous version

[jdrunner]

Hello,

I have worked on a dataset that I utilized a dilation function on and saved it. I now wish to go back to the undilated state, but simply undilating the features won't work since the structure features that were removed from dilation won't return.

Is there a way to find a previous version of the file? I am trying to avoid starting from the beginning of segmentation, since a lot of work was put into the dataset. Thank you.

Respectfully,
Jack Davis

Hello Jack,

did you overwrite the structure file that was created by the segmentation when saving the dilation step?

If not you can find the segmented structure in the result folder of your image segmentation.

Best regards,

Jonas,

I segmented the dataset, then saved the file after processing. So the segmented dataset has none of my processes saved. The last step I performed was a dilation, amongst other things.

I was curious if it was able to go back from the dilated step; I would rather avoid starting from the segmented dataset since none of my work is saved on that file. Thank you

Hello Jack,

Thank you for clarifying the issue.

If you still have the same GeoDict instance open in which you performed the dilation, you can use the Undo button (or press Ctrl+Z) in the toolbar to revert to the previous state. Please note that this is only possible within the same session. If GeoDict has been closed and you reopened the saved, already dilated structure, reverting is unfortunately no longer possible.

In that case, your only option would be to check whether you performed any intermediate computations that generated a result file. Each computation that produces a result file also creates a corresponding result folder, which always contains the input structure. If such a folder is available, you may be able to retrieve the intermediate structure from there.

Best regards,
Jonas
