HELP! Just lost EVERYTHING

#1 Post by meidinad » 16 Sep 2024, 02:10

I'm on a Mac running Sonoma 14.6.1
Just updated to DipTrace 5.0.0.0

Old files including libraries, custom parts, PCB layouts, schematics were saved in:
/Applications/DipTrace.app/Contents/Resources/drive_c/users/Wineskin/My Documents/DipTrace folder.

Now, after updated, they're GONE. This is a new computer. Unfortunately I haven't backed it up with Time Machine yet... my fault.
WHAT CAN I DO?! I can't find them anywhere. I can't figure out how to recover them with a recovery program.

Anyone have any insight...?

As written, I hadn't set up Time Machine yet. I needed to buy an external hard drive. Neither of the recovery programs were able to recover it. My question is, why would the files be deleted when simply updating the program?!!?? I left everything as program default including the original storage location. I can't understand why I'd loose everything from a simple update?! This is infuriating!
