hello.

Last week I've experienced something very strange. I created a folder and put some files into it. then after exiting and opening the folder again I was unable to see anything inside the folder. The files aren't lost (yet) as I can search for them with spotlight and open them. I deleted the folder thinking it was a one time problem. Yesterday, it happened again when I made a new folder to put some class assigments into. I'm starting to freak out as I don't want to loose my files and notes..I'm afraid to create any new folders. I tried duplicating and moving it to dropbox and the folder was still unaccessable.

I tried taking screenshots but weirdly enough everything looks fine and viewable in the screenshot, so I had to take the pic with my phone. (i blured out some of my homeswork, obviously)


UPDATE - I found a video showing exactly what my issue is. The guy offered a "fix" by re-organizing files into "names", however if someone has a long lasting solution feel free to share :)
