Deleted
I downloaded the demo of Coda (more about that tomorrow) and loaded up one of the sites from my local hard disk into it. It wasn’t quite setup the way I wanted, so I moved things around on my hard disk to put files into a better place for Coda to deal with. In Coda however, the view didn’t seem to update. Or something. It’s a bit fuzzy. Anyway, I decided to delete some of the files from the folder thinking that then maybe Coda would pick up the change, so I did Command+A to select all and moved them to the Trash. Which made no difference at all. So then I decided to empty the trash, in case it was actually somehow connected to the node of the file rather than it’s path. It was then I realised that rather than just delete the contents of a folder within my websites directory, I’d actually deleted the websites directory itself. And then emptied the Trash.
20,000 files. Gone. In an instant.
Backups? That would have been nice.
