Copying files with OSX Finder
Right, that's a funny one. Let's say that you have a folderĀ  structure like this:

Class files / com / mrdoob_as2 / ...
Class files / com / mrdoob_as3 / ...


And then, you have a some new classes you want to copy on that folder, let's say.. that you have

com / other_guy / ...

So, as a Windows user (and probably Linux) what would you do? Probably just copy the com folder, then go to my Class files folder and paste there. So that's what I did. And how wrong I was when I suposed that the popup window was asking me 'Close' or 'Overwrite'. It wasn't asking that, it was saying 'Close' or 'Replace'. It found that there was a folder called 'com' and it was asking if I wanted to replace it with the 'new version'.

Why it can't just copy the files inside? No, it had to delete the folder first and then copy the new files.

What's the end result? I lost all my Classes! Well, atleast all the ones I did after the last backup.

Thanks Apple! :(
