I won't tell you the dumbest thing I ever did. But I'll tell you what I did 3 days ago and maybe you'll think that's the dumbest thing I ever did.
I had some Finder windows open and suddenly, without warning, all the files in a folder disappeared. The subfolders were still there and okay but every last file in my current project folder just went poof.
I've had some intermittent problems with the hard drive so I ran a Disk Utility check but it said everything was fine. I immediately made an appointment with the Apple Store to replace the drive anyway, since it was part of their Seagate recall and I hadn't done it yet. I wished I had.
Luckily Time Machine had done a backup 6 minutes before, so I replaced the files. Then I made a complete, bootable backup with SuperDuper and took the Mac into the store yesterday. It came back today with a new drive and I'm restoring everything as I type this now.
Meanwhile I'm on my MacBook, looking at the big project I'm working on. It used to write files to the temporary folder until we changed things, and I'd removed the handler that calculated the path to the temp files. But I'd forgotten to remove the deletion handler that ran on shutdown, and without the correct path, just used the current directory.
I deleted my own work. But hey, I have a new hard drive. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
