Message-ID: <11383@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU> Date: Fri, 10-Jan-86 05:09:43 EST Article-I.D.: ucbvax.11383 Posted: Fri Jan 10 05:09:43 1986 Date-Received: Sat, 11-Jan-86 02:43:45 EST Sender: usenet@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Reply-To: oster@lapis%ucbvax.UUCP (David Oster) Distribution: net Organization: University of California, Berkeley Lines: 13 Keywords: Finder 4.4 deletes Finder 5.1 folders Watch out, there is an interaction between the old and new finders that may eat your files: If you mark a folder as "small icons" DO NOT give that disk to someone using the old finder. If while running under the old finder, you copy a file-of-the-same-name onto a disk with a small-icons-folder, and that file replaces a file in the small icons folder, it will erase not merely the old copy of the file, but also everything else in the folder. This bug has hit me twice. It is quite a shock to move one ".h" file from my work disk to my backup disk and have the whole folder of ".h" files disappear.
