Q: Data recovery after automator overwrote my desktop
Hi there! Yesterday I was trying to automate a couple of tasks. I'm apartment hunting so I wanted to download all images from a certain pages. To do so, I selected the task "SAVE IMAGENS FROM WEB CONTENT" on automator. I use the following set up:
- Save images on folder: "XXX"
- Use URL as folder's name: "unselected"
- Where: "Desktop"
- Overwrite existing folder "unselected"
** I've roughly translated the fields, I don't know if in english they're called this way
- I'm using a Macbook Air, running Mavericks!
To my surprise, when I ran the workflow the first time, it ERASED all my desktop (there weren't many important things, EXPECT FOR 1 freakin file) and kept the newly created folder "XXX".
Is there any chance I can get all my previous files back??
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
