Hi lovely people,
I believe I'm a victim of my Mac's adorable but very unwelcome 'cloud of smoke' animations.
The sob story: While using iWeb, I'd dragged its designated domain file to the finder sidebar's places list.
Deciding I didn't want it there, I tried to drag it back into its former home in ~/library/applications support/iweb/...
It had other plans & disappeared into thin air - *poof!*
The result: Both alias file & original file are MIA. I thought that the places/sidebar location was just an alias - yet I find the original folder completely empty.
I've checked the trash - nothing there - but the site still opens in iWeb. Searching for it also yields no results.
I just can't for the life of me find where the file has gone. Of course I hadn't set up Time Machine yet....(figures!)
Not panicking yet, but genuinely perplexed.
I've you've got sage advice, please send it my way!
Cheers everyone
PS (I don't know if you need this but mine is a shiny new Macbook OS X v 10.5.4)
