Your worksheets are *not* being eaten. In the new version of Sage
the default place the notebook commands looks for the sage_notebook
directory is $HOME/.sage/sage_notebook. However,
(1) You could tell Sage to use a notebook located anywhere. E.g., if you
start Sage in your home directory and type
sage -notebook sage_notebook
it will use the sage notebook in your home directory exactly as before.
(2) You could copy (do that -- don't just move them -- for safety)
your notebook
files from your home directory to $HOME/.sage/sage_notebook, e.g., by doing
the following:
(a) Make sure to stop all notebook processes
(b) From Terminal type
$ cd; cp -r sage_notebook .sage/
(c) Then sage -notebook should show all your old notebook files.
(3) General comment -- you never have to tediously download and upload
all your worksheets to migrate your notebooks -- they're all just in a directory
that you can move to another location. ]
(4) You can browse $HOME/.sage in finder by typing
$ cd; open .sage
in the Terminal.
