All audio files disappeared after packing the folder

[Gianni_Gon]

I'm working on this song that I'm submitting for a competition in two weeks. By accident I clicked on Pack folder, and then all the tracks disappeared. Only Natural Vocal is left as in the screen, shortly after this Logic Pro shut down. When I reoppend it, still only one track is available.

 

What do I do? Please!

You didn't try Command-Z (Undo)?

[Gianni_Gon]

I did, it didnt work cause Logic shut down. At the end I just reverted it and lost some of the work that I had done, but at least I got all the other tracks back.

Uhhh... you can clearly also see the command "Unpack folder to existing tracks". Is that Greek? Why didn't you just try that?

Heart attacks do not happen from silly mistakes. They need a careless lifestyle with lots of saturated fats and smoking cigarettes, generally.

haha, well, the tracks that disappeared hit me like a pack of smocky potatoes fried in bacon grease.

Now I see the "Unpack folder to existing tracks". I dont know why I didnt take it into account. I will take it as a lesson for the future: for every done is an undone

lots of times, especially when people panic, they miss something right in front of them; hardly just a computer thing.

 

i've helped people with their macs, who don't have "Go" in the menu bar, or don't have a dock, or don't have 'save' in the File menu... then it's "oh, THERE it is..."

haha, ja. Anxiety can blind one so quickly. Next time I'll take a deep breath before panicing (:

Well, people just shouldn't panic!
