My oh my this is a good one to try !
I found an applications folder in my home folder that i never put there.it had nothing in it .
My applications folder that i use in where it should be , in my mac hd along with my library and system x folder
I decided to copy my applicatons folder to the empty one that was in my home folder, to make it easier for file browsing from applications .
The process of copying was taking too long (impatient) so i clicked (stop)
this resulted in my applications folder
about 35 applications being completly wiped out ,except for itunes which was running at the time.
no i didnt accidently trash them.
My friend ,a mac engineer has checked out my mac doing some very scary stuff and verified that those applications are not lurking around in the dark recesses but they have magicaly vanished.
has this happened to anybody else?
and is this a fault that is localised to my mac or is it a known flaw.
THANK GOD FOR FIREWIRE.
2 hours later and all is well
