Help Me Find Unsaved File SOLVED

[shade-cabin-hammock]

Hi,

Lost 6 hours of some fairly challenging work when the PC crashed.

Returning to the system the Document Recovery pane was blank.

Please can you share some extensions I can search for that may be associated with the temporary file that, HOPEFULLY, is on the system still somewhere.

Here are the settings I use:

Hi,

Alas, seems like if the files WERE going to be anywhere, it would have been

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\PDFXEdit

For whatever reason, it seems my PC is erasing any temp files with restarting?

Is there any setting I could put on this directory such that it would NEVER get erased? I can see how that may effect the app's functioning, so, perhaps there's ANOTHER way - can we set the directory for auto-backup to be OUTSIDE the temp directory?

Or, any other workaround?

Thanks,

SCH

So, I've got my Veritas / Ghost set to backup the Temp file every 15 minutes.

It's not IDEAL, as I can't figure out how to stop the notifications! )

Along with that inquiry into a way to save the contents of the temp folder from erasing on re-start, please can you tell me if there's an auto-save function? I can see this option:

However, it doesn't seem to be that.

After thinking things over a bit now, I'm probably going to install

https://www.door2windows.com/autosaver-save-the-file-you-are-working-on-automatically/

or, a similar app if there's not anything native to PDFX I'm missing.

Please let me know!

Sincerely,

Hello SCH,

Unfortunately, we currently do not have Auto Save option.

These options are the closest thing to a save option, but those are intended to help with a crash of our own product, not the whole system:

Please also let me point out that it is never a good idea to not save your files for several hours. If something happens to the computer, there is a high chance that you could get some data missing.

Regards.

Yep, yep! Roger that. So, true, so TRUE!
