[Leica] A test and a warning

[jsmith342 at gmail.com (Jeffery Smith)]

I have all three machines upgraded to Mavericks and haven?t had any drama 
that I know of. My Epson 1280 printer started putting out horrible color 
prints, but I resolved that issue by replacing all ink reservoirs. I wasn?t 
really happy with the new Pages (don?t like the way I have to do styles now, 
primarily because there is no documentation yet available on Amazon.com). 
Some of my programs require Mavericks (I?m working with a beta of 
OmniOutliner 4).

What troubles me most is that, since upgrading to Mavericks, I?m having some 
issues with vital files disappearing altogether from my machines. I didn?t 
have this issue before. I?m losing my ?faith? in copying files en masse. 
I?ll spend a day working on a file, copy it to a thumb drive and to Dropbox, 
and then use them at work. When I get back to my home iMac and copy the 
files to my drive, the copy feature seems to work as before, but when I go 
to work on the file, it seems to have disappeared.

I hate to grouse, but I long for the days of MSDOS and Xtree, a file manager 
that would reliably copy files any way I wanted to and never overwrite files 
that were newer (or deleting them). If Xtree could do it 30 years ago on 
MSDOS using 256K memory, I would love someone who can program in Mac to do 
an Xtree for Mac OSX.
