kdevelop did not update my project ?

[Jens Dagerbo]

Hi,

Sorry you lost your work but KDevelop has no recovery feature that can have 
gone haywire and replaced your code. Kate does (depending on how you 
configured it) create a backup of the last copy when you save a file, but 
doesn't do any automatic recovery at all, and of course it doesn't do 
anything to your binary (it doesn't know it exists). I really can't see any 
better explanation than the tar command mistake you suggest.
