Under certain not-too-difficult-to-imagine circumstances, Netbeans deletes files without warning. Possibly similar to 151071 and 153828, but appears to be different. Steps to reproduce: 1) In a project under subversion version control, create a new file on disk within the subversion-controlled tree using drag-and-drop in the finder (in my original observation, I dragged an image file from a browser window into a directory on disk. 2) Bring Netbeans to the front and observe that the file has been recognised by Netbeans as existing. 3) Bring the Finder to the front and change the case of the filename (in my case, I changed the first character to uppercase). 4) Bring Netbeans to the front again. The file will vanish from Netbeans and from disk. This is nasty.
fixed changeset : 115095:49f05a944068 author : Ondrej Vrabec <ovrabec@netbeans.org> date : Thu Jan 29 09:20:00 CET 2009 summary : #157373 - Netbeans deletes files without warning after name case change Worked fine on Unix/Linux platforms. The problem occurred even on the windows OS, not just Mac. Mac (just like Win) seems to ignore lower and uppercase in filenames, so the svn module could not distinguish between "file" and "FILE". Working OK now, but note though that it works cleanly only with unversioned files, moving versioned files onto files with the same name (distinguished only by case) in a wc can lead to broken working copy and leave some files statuses as "missing" (because in such case the NB svn module would not delete the old file).
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200901300228* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/49f05a944068 User: Ondrej Vrabec <ovrabec@netbeans.org> Log: #157373 - Netbeans deletes files without warning after name case change fixing a problem, when the svn module deleted new created files without a notification.
