Okay, recently, around the time I started to download all of Pontus' programs, I have been losing my EV Data file. (Not saying it's his fault)
It just disappears. I make alias' of it and put them into the programs' files, then I log out or restart, and the original is GONE! Just poof! Even Sherlock 2 Search doesn't find it. So, should I duplicate it also for now on??

I would always keep a duplicate of the EV (and EVO for that matter) data files for backup, especially if you are into plugin development. It only takes one mistake to ruin a data file...

Sure, make a duplicate, and see if that works.

Stick to resedit. It will never give you problems. ShmeltaV is pretty stable, too, but use ResEdit as much as possible. It's all you need. Go get the EV bible.

The file is gone? Are you sure you didn't accidentally move it rather than make alias or something?

I have no idea how that could happen.

Yeah, making a duplicate is probably a good idea in the future.

Well, this in the same vein as "keep a copy", but its a good idea for other things, too: keep the file that you downloaded around as a backup. This way, all you have to do is open the archive and pull out the file you need. If you didn't download it, that means you got it from a CD, which is even easier.
