    Hello all,
    I’ve got a project thats been inactive for a month. After moveing it to the tash bin, but before deleting the trash, the producer informend me that there might be some changes. Is there anyway to save this project and all its files from the trash bin, or should i just re-digtize the master? I’ve looked in manuals and the archives and am coming up empty handed. Thanks for your help.

    Drag all the files back out of your trash and put them back where they are supposed to be. Then open the project. You can’t open anything directly from the trash bin.

    That can be tough if you don’t remember what drives they were on. Does anyone know if there’s a command like in OS9 called “Put Away”? I think it was cmd+y but it doesn’t seem to exist in OSX. You could highlight everything in the trash and press cmd+y and it would place all the files back in their previous locations. It was the kind of function that macs had that windows didn’t. But now where is it?
