That's it, I've been bitten by the data-destroying bug today at work.

You know, this sounds suspiciously like the unpredictable and unfathomable problems caused by temporary files which have bugged Windows users ever since version 1. I'm *still* finding TMP files left behind with 2005, even though I understand they were supposed to have cured it. If you let the TMP files mount up this is exactly the sort of problem that results.

I appreciate you Mac users say you never see any undeleted TMP files, but Finale must write them while it is running and they only get deleted (if you're lucky) when you exit the program, not when you close a file. So if you've had Finale running for days I think it's a distinct possibility you're being affected by the same issue.


I would be able to tell you if I COULD see them. They aren't called .tmp on the Mac, but what ARE they called? I know they must be somewhere, but I can't find them. Anybody Mac-oriented who can point me?
