Warning: RR2.2RC ate my folder contents!

[Graham Samuel]

Folks, there are circumstances where the Standalone Application Builder can 
destroy the whole contents of the folder which you elect to build in. I'm 
still working out what happened, but I thought I should send out a quick 
warning.

I'm working with Windows XP Home Edition, and I **think** the problem arose 
because I made a standalone, saw an error, went back to Revolution to 
correct it, built it again with the same name and in the same place 
(answering 'yes' to the 'do you want to replace?' question), but forgot 
that the first version of the standalone **was still open**. Anyway this or 
something else caused the erasure of the entire contents of the folder in 
which the AB was going to put its own folder containing the new version - 
and there was nothing in the Recycle Bin either. Oops.

As Heather pointed out, this is a beta and this kind of thing can happen, 
so this is really just a further warning to keep your work safe.

I'll try to get a recipe for Bugzilla after I've reconstructed the folder 
from a backup (tho I did lose some very recent stuff, I fear - my own fault 
of course).
