Re: [nbui] Re: [nbusers] Disaster!!:Renaming Project Action Failed and Deleted all My Source Code Along with no hope of recovery

OK,

I run Windows XP Service Pack 2
Sony Viao 1GB RAM Intel Core Duo Processor 1.6Ghz
JDK 1.6_05
Netbeans 6.1
NB Project Type: Java Application

I have a project named boutick-main
Now for some reason, I wanted to rename the entire project
intoboutick-main-standard

So I fired Netbeans and I mounted the project. It opened the project
successfully. The project is a bit big, over 200 classes and 50 or more
Swing Matisse Based Forms

So I right-clicked and selected Rename....

The Rename Project Popup folder came up. the mistake I made was to have
CHECKED the box telling Netbeans to "Also Rename The Project Folder"

The first thing I noticed was that as the renaming process was progressing,
the progress bar stopped at about 46% and remained there for more than 1
hour. I left it as long as it would take and did not bother cancelling it.

When i eventually came back. It gave me the impression that it had finished.
Only the see that neither the source project folder (boutick-main) nor the
destination project folder (boutick-main-standard) contained my codes
anymore, all the source files inside the src folder were all gone!

But luckily I had my subversion system functioning so I had to check out my
code from yesterdays commit. then I retried the process this time but now
ignoring the CHECKBOX "Also Rename The Project Folder". It succeded.
