OS X 10.4.7 includes “ensuring icons are spaced correctly when viewed on desktop.
” Yeah, they’re spaced correctly: they’re all gone. Empty desktop, empty ~/Desktop directory.
I had a lot of stuff on my desktop, and was a bit tired and absent-minded when I did the upgrade, so I forgot to make a backup this time. (Oh wait, I have a three- or four-week-old backup, so I can get most files back.) Damn you, Apple Non-Quality Assurance!
[2006.08.25] Just stumbled onto my own Desktop folder. I don’t quite know how it moved by itself to where I found it, but… in any case, it didn’t get deleted, and a find or Spotlight could find it if it happens again. (I mention find because it was in a place I had excluded from Spotlight.)
Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
