recover from lost .changes file

It is easy to recover from a corrupted or accidently deleted image file.

But, for the second time in the last year I have accidentally deleted
or destroyed my changes file. I do have a copy of it from yesterday,
but is there _any_ way to recover my work from today?

You still have the image, but lost the changes? So, you're missing the actual source for changed methods. Things like comments may well be gone, but the methods in the image will still decompile, won't they? You could compare the decompiled versions from today's image with the last source from yesterday's changes to help fill in the blanks. Won't help much for for new methods or big changes, but it's better than nothing.

It's also possible to extract methods whose source point after end of
changes file, and selectively decompile only those...

Thanks that's what I ended up doing.
