Description

So unfortunately I made the mistake of trying to unpack a .sml file that was on my desktop. The app was not able to unpack the file, and generated some kind of stack trace that indicates an error in execution or something. While it was doing so, it deleted all the contents of my desktop excluding a couple of shortcuts. No warnings, no possibility of restoration, nothing. Now, I was indeed foolish to use msu without thinking twice on the same directory as most of my work, but isn't an app with such sloppy directory handling kind of hazardous to the generic user?

Research direction

The report names failed .sml unpacking and includes an attached stack trace, but no source file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the failure and tracing the deletion path; done means an unpacking error no longer removes unrelated desktop contents and the behavior is covered by a regression test.
