Rhino V6 crashed on me hard. I think snapshots caused my computer to freak out. It was taking longer and longer to save/retrieve snapshots. Then my computer bluescreened.
After restart and relaunch rhino I recover the last bits of work in Rhino, but not in Grasshopper. Doesn’t Grasshopper have also a crash-dump file that I can recover?
Thanks,
Gustavo
I don’t know if GH has a crash-dump file as such, as depending on your settings GH autosaves after everytime you plug a new component in. Those Autosave files can be found here (Just replace the Matt with your username):
C:\Users\Matt\AppData\Roaming\Grasshopper\AutoSave
Look at the date/time to find which file you where using when it crashed as they don’t have matching file names like Rhino. (In GH for V5 this was the case). Also i found it helpful to copy autosave files to another location before opening them so if i get an error on opening i still have the originals.
… it is not working.
Or at least, in this case it was a new grasshopper definition which I did not yet save once… Rhino crashed (reported) and now I have nothing to recover!
sorry to hear that 
this plugin saved my ass at least a dozen times:
whenever you create a new blank gh file (even on starting up gh) the file is autosaved with a random file name, which is always present in the autosave folder
this way, if you have autosave features enabled, it will always have something to autosave 
the only downside: when you manually save the file for the very first time you should “save as…” to give it a name
