Video files missing after large tag update
crisnee:
Hey Guys,
Let me say that I know what I'm doing when it comes to computers, so I'd already done all suggestion before coming here. The files are gone. I didn't bother with looking for them via MC; I went directly to explorer. I also wasn't worried about getting them back, I have backups (the only problem being that my backup drives are elsewhere at the moment). I was doing two things, letting people know that a serious problem exists somewhere and expressing annoyance :P.
By the way, I recovered the files that I needed right away via RECUVA, a nice little free file recovery program.

Wow that's not good. The only way I know of deleting files from disk in MC is to use the delete option and then say yes to the two different prompts.
What exactly were you doing when this happened?

Unfortunately, without more information, no one can even guess what you might have done to cause that.
If you edited the [Filename] tag directly, it could cause... Bad things to happen, and would show that prompt. But, I don't know how you'd have gotten there, and even then, the update wouldn't only take a second or two. Anything that accesses the disk or moves files will take substantially longer.
More information would be useful, even if it just helps to warn others.

Glad you asked that; I was just about to explain. I was rebuilding the thumb nails. I never used the copy, rename, delete (or whatever it's called) during this session.

Exactly. It just happened so quickly and unexpectedly and I wasn't doing much at all that there's not much help to give. I'd spent 5-10 minutes in this session and the last thing I did was okay one of those "this could take a long time" (tagging) messages. A Split second later the files were gone.
