Here's a good one for you...

So the Charas Updater just destroyed a year and a half's worth of work by overwriting/restoring all of my project files to the state they were at back in November of 2008. Thankfully the project I have is on SVN revision so I only lost a month's worth of work in the end. It provided me an interesting conundrum however:

The map files that I have still exist. Is there any way for me to get the project to recognize that those maps exist or import them into the database manually? I do not believe there is a way to do that but if someone could provide me a way to do so, I'd be very appreciative. I'm not quite sure that everything was fully restored as the SVN saw nothing wrong with the year-and-a-half out-of-date files and would like an alternative if one exists.

Really, if there's any way that I can even just load the maps to copy the data back into the project, that would be fantastic. Clipboarding is perfectly fine.

If I could edit MapInfos.rxdata without breaking everything, that would be perfect. I bet it'd require more than just editing that one file to re-reference them however. :(

The easiest way would probably be to create new maps in the editor and then replace them with the other maps. (Remember to close the editor while you are doing this)
