Copy File From Time Machine Backup?
So I know I can "restore" files from previous history... but I need to copy some files.
Let me explain:
I use Evernote, which stores notes. All the notes are stored all over the place in hidden folders in the OSX and each note is called "note.xhtml." You can find the main folder that stores these and do a basic search of some words you used in a note and then that specific note is revealed in the results (again, they are all titled "note.xhtml" in various folders). This works great, except that the note I'm trying to recover glitched out and isn't showing up in my search results (all the other notes show up fine).
What I want to do is jump into Time Machine, do the same search process and copy the files that are showing up in the results. Then paste them on my current desktop and recover what I'm looking for.
BUT, there is no "copy" function. Well there is, but then it won't let you paste once you are back on your current desktop.
I have also tried "restore", which I don't like because I don't even know what file I am restoring (you dont get a preview in TM mode and all files are called the same "note.xhtml"), but I tried it, and it didn't seem to do anything. I still get no results for that search on my "current" folder setup.
I obviously can't search the Time Machine drive itself, because all the notes are called the same thing.
How can I grab these files from my search results inside Time Machine?
