Mix-ide Create Poject wipes existing directory without warning.

[o0ragman0o]

I've just lost an entire months DAPP work and associated research because MIX first became corrupted, then wiped my project directory without warning when I tried to rebuild the project a new in the same directory.

To repoduce behaviour (on Windows 10 at least):

Start mix-ide
create new project -> creates project directory and files
create another new project in the same directory -> deletes previous project directory and fails create new project.

Yikes, @o0ragman0o!

Sorry to hear that. Thanks for the bug report.

Backup routines are so important, eh? Not that it helps you now.

I hope you've managed to get going again quickly enough?

@bobsummerwill,
Fileio::mkdir() looks to perform an unconditional recursive remove if it detects an existing directory.

Yeah - that is pretty terrible, isn't it :-(

Thanks again for the report.

I believe this was fixed, right, @yann300, @chriseth?
