For the record, having a single key ('d') do something destructive without confirmation is a bug. Especially when that key is right next to 's' for Save!! Talk about tempting fate.

Doug: what I can suggest beyond what Edouard said is to search your file system for an earlier revision of the XML project file. (I will usually make a duplicate copy of the XML file once a week or so as I work on it to avoid just such a problem.) Beyond that, if both channels were exactly the same, you can just pan the right one to center and be good. If not, if all the edits were done identically to the left and right, you could hack a copy of the XML file and: 1) copy & paste the entire <TRACK/> code block from the right channel 2) search & replace 'CHANNEL="1"' with 'CHANNEL="0"' in the pasted block (or whatever the correct channel number is for your sources.)
3) Change the track name in the <TITLE/> tag.

(I once discovered that I had pressed 'd' but didn't know it since the affected track wasn't on my screen to begin with and I had to reconstruct it that way. Thank heavens it's just XML!)

Hope that helps!

Sincerely,
Sean M. Pappalardo
