Oh my! To pick a favorite script is such a hard job. I like all the scripts that I have and use them all the time. But if I have to pick just one it would be the preview maker or the cluster template maker. Thanks for the chance to win.

I love the bow making scripts. My favorite would depend on the project I am doing. It saves so much time and I am able to use matching colors and patterns from other materials in my page.

I am glad you were able to get your files back. I would still make a noise at the shop, since they missed such an important and huge folder.

I have 2 external drives, one is my current working drive and one is only plugged in for backup, more or less weekly. I still run the risk of total loss in fire or such disasters. I must seriously work on cloud backup for my photos, personal documents, and program files.

My very favorite script (so far) is the Alpha Separator 2. It saves a ton of time!!

I’m happy you could restore all your files. Me too I do not save on my C drive but a D drive. and I try to backup on a flashdrive every evening when I stop the computer. Then every week I save on my external hard disk too.

I use much of your scripts, but my favorites are the stray pixel script, quality check script and the preview maker script, great tools for every designer. Use them every day.

I use BackBlaze to back up my hard drive and my external hard drive, because I have had external hard drives go bad. Nothing is certain…not even saving to the “cloud.” Yesterday MalWare got a hold of my browser (Firefox) and wouldn’t let go so I ended up having to uninstall it and all the personalizations I had made. Not as big a pain as losing a hard drive, I know, but still pesty. I’m using Opera right now. Haven’t decided if I want to reinstall Firefox or not….I am doing a scan of my hard drive first to try to find out if the MalWare has settled in for good.

As for my favorite script…so hard to determine. It’s always the last one I get, like the new toy for a birthday. I’m trying to think which ones I go back to, and I think it is the Button Maker, because I love being able to quickly create a little element that matches what I am doing without having to buy an entire kit for one Item.

I also had such a problem and have all files
stored on an external hard drive. 1.5 terabytes and then they fell off me and everything was gone. My brother was able to save 2Gigabyte,
but what really matters is lost forever.
Now I have several small external hard drives and lying in a drawer, so that they at least can no longer fall from the table. Such things are very annoying.:-(

Hi!
Never, and I really mean NEVER, keep your documents on C: drive (like in My documents folder)… I have everything important to me on my D: drive, so if I have to re-install Windows, D: drive is not going to be deleted… of course, I have back-up on external drive as well, but I have to update that every couple of months…
