I have always kept my textures in a folder in the Second Life Directoy on my computer without a problem. After loading Version .7, my texture forder was deleted! This never happened in any other version release, why did you add that "feature"?

I lost EVERY texture I ever created, stored, or was working on. I do have a commercial restore program that I am going to try and see if I can get my folder back, but if it doesn't work, I have 5 months worth of textures to recreate.

Thanks Lindens!!

wow, that sucks.

i always keep my SL work far away from the SecondLife folder... i have a separate folder on a separate drive for all my SL work, and subfolders for textures and scripts and misc. notes. SL can't delete it if it don't know it's there ;)

sorry to hear you may have lost everything though :(

Tracey, I had the same thing happen... after freaking out a bit, I checked my trash can (recycle bin on Windows desktop) and found all my textures. You might want to check that out to see if you can find them. (:

Good luck!

Yes, it does suck......

You can believe now that my textures are no where close to the Second Life folder. I only have one hard drive, so I can't be as careful as you, but I don't think they will find it again.

Alek, That was the first place I looked, but not knowing about the texture folder, I had already cleared my Recycle Bin. But thank you for the suggestion.

BTW, I did manage to recover it all. I have a program called "Go Back", damn thing actually works!!

Again, thanks for your support. Misey DOES love company.
