Problems with track skins.

Probably should ask this on a CM forum, but thought i'd try here first. I'm doing some changes to some grass and tree colors on a couple of tracks. I made a new skin folder for the changes in the track folder so that I didn't have to mess with what was already in the tracks 'default' skin folder. Everything seemed fine. I changed to my skin in CM to test and saw my changes. Left the track and unticked my skin folder to go back to the track defaults, but the files that were in the default folder got deleted.

Thankfully I kept a backup so it was an easy fix, but does anyone know why the files in that folder got deleted and how to avoid it in the future when I want to use my own track skin? I guess I could make another folder in the cm_skin folder named default and put everything there and activate that one when I'm done using my own skin files. Or am I missing something obvious that I should be doing?

Thanks for any help...
