It is quite a common mistake to believe to work on some file but in fact really work on a copy of it ; or to believe to work in a given directory and really work in another one.<div><br></div><div>And if you don't spot that early, it may lead to a couple of hours of hair tearing.</div> <div>My students do that mistake quite often, and always blame the computer (of course). And they also often don't believe me at first when I ask them to double-check the working directory and the file names.</div><div> <br></div><div>But maybe your problem is somewhere else.
