Thanks for the comeback, Brice,

I guess misery loves company because it is good to know that it happens to
others. I'll have to look into the exiv2 -c command as I haven't used it
yet. The jpegs would be nice to have back so I don't have to re-edit the
raws. However I'm just converting them (the cr2 files) to DNG and they are
re-appearing. So that works.

cheers, Jim
