1. An alternative solution would have been just to Get Info on the transmogrified folder, twiddle open the Name & Extension area and removing the .scrivx extension.

2. I am glad all was resolved, but I am worried about how this happened in the first place. Another user had a similarly heart-stopping episode just the other day:

[Urgent: 75,000 word book in jeopardy](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/urgent-75-000-word-book-in-jeopardy/37439/1)

That case was easily resolved in the same way, but the fact that we have just seen two cases of this means someone probably needs to figure out what could induce it.
