May i ask what prompted this?
Afterwards, I saw in the log a number of error messages “Insufficient disk space to import file(s)”
And how large did you make the encrypted database?
I ran a File > Check File Integrityt and found 6,000 orphaned files, which might be the items in suspicion. I can’t easily confirm because all of my grouping/tagging appears to have been lost.
Appreciate any pointers if there’s any way to restore my prior state?
It’s very likely you’ll have to rebuild by hand. You did the check on the source database?
PS: It would be a File > Verify & Repair Database.

(A good answer here would be to restore from last nights databse backup however, that’s not an option as I was in the process of getting ready to START doing daily backups. A day too late.)
I hope the next thing you do is run out to the store and get a sufficiently large external hard drive, then doing nothing else until you’ve got your local backups done and set up to run periodically.
