Be aware of possible data loss when saving from iWeb
Same thing happend to me. I have a folder of various iWeb domains all in their own folders. I created a new site in iWeb and before I shut dwon for he night I published it into the same folder as the Domain file is located. I figured this was logical. Keep all files of a specific site in the same folder. Published. Shut down and sent to bed. Next day went to do some work on the Domain file. Went to the folder and it couldn't be found. Just the publshed site. I went nuts looking. Figuring I must have screwed up. I looked everywhere. Nothing. Couldn't find the Domain file anywhere.

I don't think this is a bug per se. The default behavior of OS X is that if two folders have the same name but different contents, when you "copy" the contents of folder A over the contents of folder B, the contents of folder B are deleted and replaced with the contents of folder A. While this is an issue, it doesn't sound like a bug to me.

Of course it is a bug. A copy operation took place without your express knowledge. The destination folder had never been used before by iWeb, it contained information not intended for iWeb. I did not ask iWeb to copy its output to this folder, iWeb chose to do this - without warning.

I doubt that would work; you don't have write privileges for anything in System, so that will fail. Replacing Applications or Library will also probably fail since some of the files in those folders also will not be writable by you so you will not be able to replace them.

Hmmm? Of course OS X does _not_ work this way. If it would replace the _contents_ of a folder every time you copy the _contents_ of another folder into it, with no name conflicts, how would you ever merge the contents of two folders? |
