Be careful with Command-Z in the Finder!

By Cri-cri. Original by Lionel - 30/06/2005 14:12:56 CEST - Category: Mac OS X
Command-Z is a very useful function that allows to cancel the last action - it saved many times inattentive people. But, there is at least a case where you should know that it is not really working the way you might expect.
One of our readers, Laurent, copied some data on his computer from his USB key before ejecting the key.
He inadvertently used the Command-Z which canceled his last copy. Of course, he used again the same combination (Command-Z) to redo the copy. Because the key was not connected to the machine anymore, he got this error message:

The thing wouldn't have been a disaster if he hadn't delete the files from the key on an other machine.
So, please remember that if you are copying data from a removable media and eject it, the Command-Z will erase the copied files from the machine and you will not be able to go backward.
