Hi Guy,

While creating my algo.  I had been learning a lot.  So decide my algo needs to be refactored.  So create a new file called it “notes”.  Did not add the dot "py" extension.  Cut and Pasted in some of the code.  That I wanted to refactor.

Had to leave the computer. The computer hibernated. When come back the and restarted the computer the session had closed.  When I reopened the session the “notes” file was missing. 

after experimenting discovered that if I create a file with no extension.  It remains visible in the explorer pane on the right until I close the strategy editor and reopen.  After reopening the files with no extension are not listed.  As a side note: Pressing F5 to reload browser table the strategy editor does not cause files with out the py extension to vanish.

Are the files still there but hidden?

If yes how to I show files without the dot “py” extension.

If no is there a way to recover the vanished files?

If there is not way to recover the vanished files.  Does the editor some where record previous version of files. So I can go back to an old version of the main code before I cut the code to refactor out?

Thank you for your help in advance.
