Hello,
Today something very unusual happened that I have never experienced before. By testing a macro I seem to have turned my old Desktop folder into a Nisus document! As a result I can't see the files and folders I used to keep on the Desktop and I cannot drag anything to the Desktop either, of course.
Does anybody have an idea how I can get my old Desktop folder back?
Here is the story how this happened:
I was trying to write a macro which was supposed to save a new Nisus file automatically to the desktop. The underlying idea was to select a word in the active new document, then start a macro that would save the document using the selection as title. -- I normally use to test macros by having two documents open, let's call them A and B. I write the macro commands in A, then select the commands and let the macro be executed in B by using the command "Run Selection As Macro" from the Macro menu.
Today I wanted to test the following lines:
$path = '/Users/meinewenigkeit/Desktop
$name = Read Selection
$name = $name &= ‘.rtf’
Save to $path, $name
I actually intended to close the path with an apostrophe (') after the word "Desktop" , but it seems I forgot it.
The result was that the files and folders I had on the Desktop suddenly all disappeared and the Desktop folder itself is now a Nisus document
I cannot drag anything to the Desktop because it is a Nisus file now!
If I open my home folder and click on the Desktop folder (which now has a Nisus icon) the Nisus document B will be opened, in other words my old Desktop has now become the old Nisus document B.
The question is now: How can I get my old Desktop folder back (with the files and folders I used to keep there)?
