I tried to delete a folder which I access via terminal.app. Though the Finder moved the folder to the Trash, I was still able to see the contents and edit the file from terminal. * created a textfile created a textfile * Moved the entire directory to the Trash via the Finder Deleting the entire directory from Finder * I see files even after moving the folder to the Trash I see files even after deleting the folder * I still managed to edit/append content to the file I still managed to edit/append content to the file The file is not available in Recent menu of Textedit after being moved to the Trash, but can be viewed in terminal with cat command. Even after moving to the Trash, the directory PWD doesn't update path (with trash/tmp path) View the complete screencast (5.20 min / ~24mb) Is there a way to synchronize the command line with Finder for this scenario?
