I am seeing something like you describe.  Xcode occasionally informs me that a file was modified externally and gives me two choices (Revert? Cancel?  Can't recall.)  Nether seems right and when it happens I say, "WTF!" because it doesn't give me a "Save As" so I don't lose work.

So far it has not resulted in loss of work (AFAIK).

It's odd...  It happens so infrequently that I don't have full context on it.

Last night I typed a non-trivial paragraph of code into a source file.  And saved it.  I hit Command-S after every line of code, no exaggeration.  A few minutes later, I was scrolling up and down madly looking for it and couldn't find it.  In case I accidentally put it in the wrong file, I searched for a string I knew I'd used.  Nowhere to be found.

Suddenly Xcode presents a dialog complaining that it couldn't autosave the file because it had been modified externally.  Did I want to "revert", or save what was in the editor?

I've been seeing these dialogs on both my machines intermittently for weeks.  Same versions of everything on each system: OS, dev tools.  Same project.  Usually I opt to save what's in the editor, thinking that it must be the correct version.  Well now I know otherwise.  I hit "revert", and the block of code magically reappeared on my screen.

No, there was nothing else running that could've deleted code.  At least, not anything visible.

But it occurred to me that this might be some kind of Lion file-management crap gone seriously and dangerously wrong.  Has anyone else seen this?  Any ideas?

Thanks.

Gavin
