I am not sure what happened but I had the 0.30 Patcher in my Apps folder and it just prompted for an update. So I figured Id give it a try. When I did this I noticed the icon for my apps folder in my dock start cycling through apps. So I check and I watched as all my apps disappeared including utilities. I Force Quit the patcher and got an Applescript error that was extremely long with each line saying

rm "one of my apps"
rm "another of my apps"
..

Im sorry to not have saved the log but I was a bit jolted. I am in the process of replacing the apps folder with the one from my backup drive. If that doesn't work ill just restore the entire drive from the image.

Nothing else was running and the computer had been on for about an hour. So my guess is that it had something to do with me having the patcher in the apps folder and then the update wanting to rm the patcher and replace it with the update?

Is this something that anyone else has experienced? Or should I be looking for a different reason?

I in no way want to discourage anyone from using this app or zeph's asu as they are both wonderful apps. I am personally just a bit scared of the auto updater.
