Sorry, Dan, really not sure what you mean there, I have detailed what
happened, tried to explain what we did to try and find out what
happened, what more is it you want me to do. I opened picasa, it
showed my pictures, scanned and then deleted every single thing in my
directory, twice. That is the only recipe to reproduce I can give
you!
I posted here because I thought you wanted to hear of any new bugs, I
am suggesting that this is a pretty big bug, it has resulted in my
losing the first time all my pictures from my photography course and
the second time, losing every single document I have. Shamefacedly, I
am only now figuring out that I need to keep picasa separate from
anything that I actually want to keep and am backing up all photos for
which I use picasa, prior to opening it and prior to closing it!
If you have anything constructive to add, please do!
