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.
Anything that will leave you with a sinking feeling in the pit of
your stomach (or worse) if it disappears should be backed up. You
should also have off site backups. All the backups in the world
aren't going to help if they burn up or get stolen along with your
computer. Software and hardware problems (and user error) aren't the
only way to lose data.

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
