Hi folks,
Mina was working on a very involved and complex project, which she had shared several versions of at http://scratch.mit.edu/users/mina . After adding a bunch of new functionality, she was trying to save it and share it, and she got frustrated by how long her computer was taking, so she opened another, simpler project to work on while she was waiting.
Somehow, by doing all three things at once, she managed to over-write both her local copy of the project and the one shared on the server with the simpler project, losing weeks of work she's put into scratch.
Is there any way to recover what she had shared earlier? If there is a way to restore her earlier version so that she only loses a day or so of work, that would be awesome.
I've talked to her about not trying to do too many things at once, but you might want to look at how Scratch handles simultaneous actions, so no one else loses their work in this way.

We do have some sort of version backup that was supposed to be a secret, but I guess I will tell you about it now :-)
I was actually waiting to make a web interface for it, so you might find this a bit involved.
The latest project mina has uploaded is here:
http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/mina/1748.sb
The very first version (April 20) is here:
http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/mina/1748.sb.1
The second version is:
http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/mina/1748.sb.2
...and so on, until http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/mina/1748.sb.7
as you can see the only thing that changes is the numeric suffix

Thanks so much. The URL was actually http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/mina/1748.7.sb, but close enough that I was able to figure it out. You're a lifesaver, and I got to be a hero and save the day. And one unhappy Scratch user is happy again.
Thanks again!
