Hello Ken,

there are Disk Warrior (1) and Data Rescue II (2), but I can not tell you how much these can do. Modern Computers tend to have A LOT of files, and also to overwrite free space quickly.

Also, while I am sure you have heard enough of this already, I must say it: You can not have worked on these files for 1,5 years. If if had been work of any kind, you would have a backup.

I live by the rule that every project (no matter how small) either lives in an SCM (which is backed up automatically, too), or in /tmp (doomed at the next system boot).
If it code is of any significance whatsoever, it deserves to be backed up.

Hi

I have a project I've been working on for a year and a half and today, I was building temporary paths inside a class's loop which for some reason failed and instead gave me the source code directory for the entire project. At the end of each iteration, the object the path points to is deleted. The built project is placed in a subdirectory of the applications folder so I have no clue how a failed path constructed at runtime could possibly point to my source directory which is in a completely different part of the disk. The app wasn't running inside Xcode in debug mode or anything. It was running in standalone mode completely outside the Xcode environment. It makes no sense.

Are there any Tiger disk utilities that allow for raw disk scanning for files deleted with NSFileManager's removeFileAtPath?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Ken
