Well, it's gone. I bought "Data Rescue 2" and spent the afternoon trying to recover but no luck. It's not quite as desperate as I thought initially as I have a copy of the source from about 3 weeks ago on a machine at work. Still, it's a major PITA.

After calming down, I thought through what the app did and it still seems exceedingly strange to me. The delete only affected the files (and their containing directories) included in the Xcode project from which the app was compiled. Other Xcode projects at the same level are all fine. "Miraculously" only the stuff I need was deleted.

I did manage to recover ".o" files for the deleted sources. Is there any way to decompile those back into usable files?

Thanks

Ken

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

I've used this with some success in the past.

VERY IMPORTANT!!

STOP USING THE AFFECTED MACHINE IMMEDIATELY!!!

Any operation on the affected machine risks the possibility that newly created files (temp files, mail, etc.) can overwrite the files you want to un-delete. Use another machine and load your file salvage software on this other machine. Then mount the affected disk you want to search for files on as a FireWire Target disk. This way no newly created files can overwrite the deleted files from your project.

good luck,

Ralph
