The sidebar sure isn't very intuitive.

Just today I wanted to exclude the Movies folder from the Time Machine backup, so I grabbed it from the Finder sidebar and dropped it onto the exclusion list.

Of course the Sidebar item just went poof and nothing got added.

You really have to stop and think before manipulating items on the Finder sidebar.

I made a big mistake that cost me my iPhoto library. Frustrated with how iphoto 08 handles the library I right click the library and "show package co tents" I then added the "originals" folder to the sidebar. This was seemingly great because I then had access to my photos with out showing the package contents... I renamed the sidebar entry to "iPhoto" and the next day I noticed that my photos were not showing up in iPhoto.... I didn't even think that the folder got re named, I just thought that I lost my originals folder some how. Instead of looking in my package for a iPhoto folder I tried to restore the library. Now all of my photos are missing. Thankfully I had a semi recent back up at home, however I'm still missing the past months worth of imports... Ugh! Side note: please excuse any typos I'm writing this message on my iPod touch as my laptop is sick at the shop
