    I have lost my last text file when I copied my card to my MacBook Pro. I might have went too deep into the file structure when I copied my files. Can I re-construct these file. What I see now in my folder are six folders titled as follows Audio, Clip, Icon, Proxy, Video, Voice. Can you help me?

    For future reference, you shouldn’t go “deep” at all – you should be copying everything, even if a particular folder is empty. You should also invest in a program such as ShotPut P2 or ShotPut Pro, which will copy your files for you (and in up to 3 locations simultaneously) and perform a verification check.

    You still need a “Contents” folder that the other 6 folders will reside in.

    As for the LASTCLIP.txt file, that would normally be next to the Contents folder.

    Check out “Shane’s Stock Answer #38,” by Shane Ross, for the way to recreate your LASTCLIP.txt file:
