P5 ate my code?

well,
i was farting around writing some really weird code.
I decided to launch BBEdit, since for the moment, it's a bit more comfortable for editing...
randomly saved the file in my P5 library. well, not randomly, I saved it in a project folder called recursivecrackmonkey. recursivecrackmonkey.pde already existed so I saved it as recursivecrackkmonkey_02.pde
and now it is no more.
looked everywhere.
it IS possible that did something stupid like type sudo rm -r / * or somesuch into the terminal. But is it possible that P5 did some not so kosher putzfrau manoeuvres?
Not saying it did, but if there is such a possibility, it should be looked at...
I will find some time and do some tests...
P5v0043 on MacOSeX 10.1.5

what do you mean by 'saved the file in my p5 library'? that you did a 'save as' and called it recursivecrackmonkey_02?

I started the project in P5. Decided to use BBEdit, copied the code out, and pasted it in to BBEdit, when it came time to save, I wanted to create a new file (since I had made some changes from the file I started in P5), and I saved it in the folder which was already created for the project by P5, next to P5's .pde file.
so my folder should have looked like this:
-data
-foobar.pde
-foobar_02.pde
-history.gz
I still haven't tried to reproduce the error, and as I said, it may be my imagination.

I tried to duplicate the supposed error with no luck.
so it's probably a stupid adrien trick, or my system is borked and is randomly loosing data...
probably me.
so unless this crops up again, it's probably nothing.
sorry if you lost any sleep over this.

if more bugs would disappear or fix themselves over time like this one has, then the final 1.0 release would be out next week.
but let us know if the problem returns or can be reproduced.. bugs involving the destruction of code are always at the top of the list for fixes, for obvious reasons.
