This morning, I was writing in a Google doc of some notes that are very important to our business. Something was wrong with my keyboard, it was emitting wrong characters, and it must have selected and erased everything, I guess. When I came back this afternoon, the doc was there, but empty.
I open the doc now, and ^Z or Edit -> Undo doesn't seem to do anything. I can open things like Version History, or (clicking on the File in Google Drive), Details and Activity. But none of them show anything but the current empty version. They show when previous activity happened, but not how to get those versions.
What can be done to get this file back? Thanks much.
I was able to get it back! What I had been doing wrong: Using Opera instead of Chrome. Opera showed the versions, but no arrow on the left to click on to get them back.
I saw instructions on Google Forums to clear cache, so I did that too; don't know if it helped.

I want to save the history. Disabling everything is not a choice.
I just use the same google account on my work PC and on my private PC. When I click into the search bar of a new tab, it shows me a dropdown of recent searches - including private searches from yesterday evening. When I share my screen, my colleagues see this and might think that I've been looking for all this during work time.
How can I fix this? Do I need seperate accounts for work/private?
Yeah perhaps considering getting a separate account as manually clicking 'remove' for each search term in the drop-down can be consuming or the other option is to go to search history in google settings and clear for 'all-time'
I've been a passive StackOverflow user for more than a decade now. I don't really think this is the place to ask this but Google Developers Help page referred me here.
Adwords has been updating to a beta version and I'm a heavy user of its Scripts console, but recently, when I want to ad a new script with the big red button, it starts loading and then this message displays: "There was a problem loading the script. Please try again later"
I've already tried with Chrome and Safari, a cookieless browser and with a different account and nothings seems to work. I also Google the error and there is nothing. I don't think I'm the only person experiencing this, do you have any solution?
I couldn't reproduce your problem and was able to create scripts—however, I've noticed quite a lot of bugs in the new web interface (to be fair, they say it's still in beta).
But as a workaround, just use the Return to previous AdWords link in the three dot option menu, which will take you back to the old interface. I could well imagine that you'll be able to add a new script there.
I have switched off every extension except uBlock Origin (edit: now I tried disabling that too) and this still happens: links in Google searches and Inbox mails get rewritten to lnkr.us. I have checked with developer tools and this is not in the HTML source. This happens on click. Then uBlock Origin brings up the "document blocked" tab, I close it and if I click again, it goes straight to where it should. I am quite clueless as to what can cause this. I have seen others complaining and pinning it on this extension or that but as I said: I have disabled all my extensions. I am on Linux and hopefully malware free.
Looks like this:

The real question is: how can I debug what happens. I can read C, I have used gdb but I am no master of it to say the least.
Edit: nothing unusal on chrome://plugins either.
Edit2: sometimes it's icontent.us ; apparently that has been there for a year now, check https://twitter.com/baio1980/status/557236850486960128 the link there.
Edit3: I think this doesn't happen in Incognito mode so it might be an extension still but how can an extension stay alive after ticking it off on the Extensions screen?
Edit4: I have created a new ~/.config/google-chrome directory , disabled syncing extensions, reinstalled all my extensions and this doesn't happen now. My apps and plugins are the same.

The default behavior for chrome.downloads.download is to download to the default download folder. It doesn't remember it if you change the folder. Can we save the download-to location for the next call-out?
References: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/downloads
It's concerning that Chrome actually doesn't provide the ability for an extension to get the last download path. Some say, it's due to security concern and others say, there is no significant need to have the API available to users.
You also cannot store the download path in your extension because Chrome doesn't let you get the selected download folder. I hope Google provides us with the either of these features later.
This is not a supported feature, according to this Chromium discussion.
Summary:
If you specify a filename, it's never possible to save outside of ~/Downloads (this is a bummer, for me)
You should be able to manually implement something (in a subfolder only) using the id returned from Chrome.downloads.download
A few quotes I like (edited for brevity and politeness):
Would like a download option to choose recent download folder. Would be good to remember last download location per website, like you other settings.
Seems reasonable.
Chrome does remember the last chosen directory if no filename is specified to downloads.download with Save As... Given how Save As works without specifying a filename, my intuition would be it would work the same with a filename... but it doesn't.
That one is interesting. So it kind of supports it already. There's no security concern with saving outside of Downloads.
I have just been able to restore the "remember last download location" functionality, which used to work on my previous machine, in a new install by disabling extensions and Chrome apps provided by Google. This is what I have turned off:
Extension: Google Docs Offline
Chrome Apps: Docs, Sheets, Slides
I haven't tried to narrow down which of these have been the culprit, or if any other extensions (I have a bunch) have played a role. So YMMV. Good luck :)
SOLVED. Very simple way: Insert a USB-drive or SD-card. Go to chrome settings, and specify this drive as the default download location.
Remove the drive/SD-card. Download something - the first time you do it, Chrome will offer to save to your user document folder, but instead, you save it to whereever you want.
This location will be remembered next time. Voila. So easy.
In fact, you can save previous the download location.
If you do a clean install, first of everything, change the download settings to "ask every time". It is very important not to click the text box where you can specify one download location (if you click there just once, you need a clean install again).
Chrome will then bring up the download window with your last save location.
Furthermore, you should uncheck the "settings" in the sync preferences because it will break every time you sync your settings to a new browser.
I'm implementing a mutual authentication for my client in order to solve not having to continually whitelist some of the agencies with a dynamic ip. The process works fine in all browsers that I've tried in the Windows environment (Windows 7).
The problem is that there is a popup for every time that the user goes to the site. On most browsers, this is a one time occurrence, when you first go to the site for the day. On Google Chrome, however, the popup occurs on what appears to be every POST/GET request. I found how to disable the popup for IE and FF with this link: http://docs.threerings.org.uk/wiki/Certificates_without_prompting, but there is still the problem with Chrome.
I've tried to install the certificate into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities, but I get an error message, "The import failed because the store was read-only, the store was full, or the store did not open correctly.".
If anyone has an idea on what I can do to get around the pop-up for Chrome, it would be greatly appreciated.
This is what you're looking for:

I could tell you how to do it exactly, but my honest opinion is that this is something you have to work out yourself. You need to know what is going on because you are more than likely to run into bugs (not bugs per-se but some undesired or unwanted results).
I have to admit that Google Chrome and Chromium are great browsers, but when it comes to client certificates, they have a lot of improvements to be made.
Just some extra info on this that may help people.
The first part references the CFBundleIdentifier which you can find in the Contents folder then info.plist. Click you Application and then show package contents then you should see it.
So I had to do this for Chromium for Tizen debugging below worked obviously use your CN name.
defaults write org.chromium.Chromium AutoSelectCertificateForUrls -array-add -string '{"pattern":"*","filter":{"ISSUER":{"CN":"Entrust Certification Authority"}}}'
