- Hi John, I had a similar problem - If you cant get it recovered by a
reputable company - I was scammed so beware of those claiming to be rapid
data recovery specialists - get a number of testimonials before parting
with your drive.

I hrealise that all my files were indexed by google desktop and that it

extract file listing from index to determine whats on dead drive?

cyberto...@gmail.com — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 05:21:18 UT

My external Western Digital USB MyBook drive has failed. I don't exactly
recall all of what was on the drive, and want to find out the names of the
files (hopefully) from the Google Desktop index (if they have not been
deleted from the cached index already).
Anyone got any tools? I have tried to using the search syntax to show

The GoogleDesktopAPI.idl (part of the SDK) comments are almost the
docs, IIRC. Then samples/search/ .

There is also an HTML doc, dated to 2005, that is a part of GDS API
.NET wrapper project (originally by Manas Tungare, later maintained by
me): download [link]

The API doc was online....
On my computer i can't find nothing about a API PDF. Because there was a
PDF file that include a overview of the API for Google Desktop.
Also i found this [link]
But no API doc.
Kind Regards,

Thank you so much - now all I need to do is understand the API architecture
- is their an overview doc some where?
Ive found a few code snippets, just need to understand what I am trying to
do and how it maps on to the api..
I am not sure if everything is exposed although the web page must have
implicit callls so that d=should give me a clue...

Hello,

you can store using options.putValue and load using options.getValue.

However when you start your gadget in the designer it will behave the
same way it would when a user first installs it in Google Desktop. You
can set default values for your options using
options.putDefaultValue() in your main function which will be used

options.storage

Hello,

I used options.putValue to store data. I closed my google designer.
when I opened it and tried to retrieve teh data, I could not get the
data using options.storeValue. How do I permanently store data
entered into a form on my google gadget and then retrieve it back into
my program?

Yes, it seems that Google Desktop is leaking file handles, but they
won't fix it. :-/
