qrtLs's questions

Mousepad asks about "Do you want to save the changes before closing?". I would like to default to silent discard and no popup (disrupting the workflow). Nor prefs. nor the cat .config/Mousepad/accels.scm have configs about it:

Where is the setting to disable this query:

I unplugged my USB stick from Ubuntu 16.04 without the save remove option, but exfat should be fine doing so. No read write was happening, the partition does not use journaling. What I end up with is an unmountable USB stick with checksum error.

What tools are there to recover the partition table or at least the data on the USB stick? What I am doing now is scanning via parted. Has anyone experienced the same problem with exfat and recovery options? Unfortunately parted probably won't detect the partition because it does not support exfat.

I also tried to use Partition Wizard on Windows but it failed to detect anything, just showing unallocated space. How do I proceed? are there helpful tools under Windows or Ubuntu?

I also tried to use gpart -v /dev/sdb but it failed to detect anything. On OS X there is a tool called fsck_exfat, is there any on Windows?

update The disk is preinstalled with Parted Magic. After quick search no partition shows up.
