FileSaver is not so bad... when you need it!
Authored by: DavidRavenMoon on May 03, '02 06:57:06PM

I had this same problem with the public beta of NUM. As a side note, I also used to disable FileSaver in OS 8/9 because it would hang the Mac at shutdown.

One day, for whatever reason, something told me to re-enable FileSaver and let it update its file on my HD.

The next day, I get home from work and start up my Mac... and most of the extensions were missing! Upon looking at my hard drive, I had a LOT of missing files! I booted from the Norton CD, and it found many directory problems that it could not fix. So I ran Volume Recover... it found the FileSaver info from the day before and restored everything back to normal!

The moral: FileSaver is a valuble thing to use... but it can be buggy. Haven't had any problems with the current version in OS 9.2.2... so far...
