Well apparently I spent hours trying to figure out nothing. I woke up this morning, turned on my computer and was greeted with all of my notes. I guess all it needed was a system restart and viola.

I have a few hundred notes that I recovered after the partition they were on was reformatted and a new OS was installed. Around 190,000 files were recovered and named numerically. As a result, the note files were stored as ######.txt. Other than that, they appear to be intact and, when compared to a note I just created, properly formatted.
The problem lies in the fact that, even when named with the .note extension, Tomboy does not recognize them when I move the files into the .Tomboy folder. I guess I just assumed that they would be. This leaves me with a few questions.
Is there a way to get Tomboy to recognize these files as notes? The only difference between them now and before is the name.
Is it simply a matter of changing the name to fit a certain format or does it need to be added to a database?
Should I just give up? I spent hours recovering these notes so I feel like I'm kind of in this too far to just give up now. Any help/advice would be appreciated. I have no programing experience, so a solution that doesn't require that knowledge would be ideal.
Thanks
