Be aware of possible data loss when saving from iWeb
Authored by: fbitterlich on Dec 20, '06 02:38:38PM

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?

OS X itself (read: the Finder) does never replace anything as long as the names are different. The problem described in this hint is unique to the iWeb application and is caused by iWeb thinking it "owns" the published folder. Serious bug if you ask me, and definitely against Apple's own guidelines.
