latest EAP blew up, (Win7 BSOD buffer overrun overrun .. this is the only new software I installed.. there's my evidence, your honors...) taking with it my config files which intellij can no longer read (everything in directory colors for instance produces an error in intellij when intellij tries to load it, something about cannot append to some file or other) . Stranglely, it somehow trashed one of the Java files I had open in such a way that it cannot be read by any application, not notepad, not intellij not anything HOWEVER, the iles size is still *right* indicating , in some sense, the text is still there, but the file is corrupted in such a way as to give me a blank , correctly named file in whatever program opens it. I can even "select all" and see a large amount of "something invivsible" gets selected but copying and pasting into any other program gets me no where, as does copying and pasting into intellij. I worked all day on this file and I'd like to get it back. So here's my question- has this every happened to anyone else and is there anything to be done? FWIW I uininstalled the EAP and reverted to the latest release and probabluy will not be brave enough to mess with EAPs for a while. I actually have hourly backups in place, but per Murphys Law, I had them disabled today while I made some changes to my disks. so therefore, of course, naturally as a direct, if inexplicable, consequence etc etc etc ... kaboom! ...
