V0.12 MAC OS 10.4 system corruption

Post by ayoungblood »

At some point while running MP. It created a Home folder in the Macintosh HD/users folder and moved all the folders from my user folder to this home folder. Of course my Mac crashed and upon restart had lost it's mind. Desktop wiped clean, Safari book marks all gone, dock back to stock icons, Keychains missing, etc.

Once I realized what had happened I immediately shut down and booted into firewire mode and used another machine to put everything back. That fixed it.

I guess I should be thankful it didn't put everything in the trash and flush it.

Great looking application, let me know when there is a stable version. Thanks,

Alan

XnViewMP has created Home and move files after which operation??? You have moved your files in XnViewMP??

Did it on it's own

Yes, it really wierd. I'm unclear when this happened. I do know that a "Home" folder appeared in the sidebar navigation of XnView upon start up and at some point in my exploration of the application I clicked on it a couple times. I don't know if this triggered it.

The MacintoshHD/users folder is not something I interact directly with on a daily basis and never have it open so there is very little chance I opened the folder, created a "home" folder, opened my user folder, selected everything and dragged them to the home folder - unconsciously.

So, no more messing with the alpha of this program for me. I'll try a beta though.

Yes it's weird because file or folder are not moved like that by XnViewMP!!
Clicking on treeview don't never make copy or move....
