leopard losing whole directories...

[David Herren]

This is too strange to be a coincidence...

You may recall in a message about Time machine yesterday I commented  
on my difficulties in restoring a directory of 90+ files. I make  
stupid mistakes, but I rarely delete entire directories of files that  
I work on every day...

Today, twice, entire directories have disappeared. In both cases (and  
yesterday as well), the directories had been dragged into the Finder  
sidebar (where they usually live since they're directories of files I  
work on constantly). Both gone. No spotlight hits, nothing in the trash.

Time Machine recovers versions a few hours old, but I don't keep the  
drive plugged in to my laptop all the time so a handful of new files I  
created (and fortunately printed) have disappeared.

Has anyone else had finder sidebar directories disappear?
