OT: DiskWarrior vs. Repair Permissions
I’ve used DW for years and have also used Repair Permissions (after trashing prefs). I sort of knew that both DW and Repair Permissions both affected the disk’s directory, but I didn’t know if the order of using DW & RP mattered. I contacted support at DW and they replied, “You always want to rebuild the directory first (with DW). Then, repair permissions. Since repairing permissions changes information in the directory, you want the directory to be in a pristine condition first.”
