Thanks Jacque. Once again, there are NO files visible in the Finder. The way I can find the temp files is by using the Finder's search facility. In the results of the Search window, the file names are shown, along with the dotted-line icons, and NO file path at the bottom of the Window. It may not have come across in my posts, but I am quite familiar searching for files on a system. :-) I will try using Rev to recover a Rev file -- ironic, but appropriate. [ BTW, the only reason I even know about the temp files is years ago before there even was Revolution and OS X, I was able to recover a MetaCard project that mysteriously disappeared from my drive at 2AM, the morning before the project was due. I used Norton Utilities to search for any related files to my project, found the temp files (which are the result of every save of the file), and figured out I had an unintentional backup of several iterations of my file. Those temp files saved my butt. ] Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, Multimedia & Design _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
