Rhino Crash

Hello,

My rhino just crash when I was working without never saving (so it was a new drawing), when I opened It, it could open the autosave file without any problem because it ask me to do so when I opened the application. The problem is that it crash like 1 min after I open the autosave file and now there is no autosave file… Do you know where I can found it?

in your finder use go to (cmd shift g) then enter /Users/yourusername/Library/Autosave Information

replace yourusername with your own of course, see if there is a file… if yes hooray, if not, i am sorry.

do you have time machine set up on your mac? if not DO IT NOW!!

if you do, versions tracks rhino files and you can restore them using that process.

the files do not end up in the trash as you suggested, i just checked, not saving a file working for a while it goes to /Users/****/Library/Autosave Information, when rhino crashes the file remains there.

but when you restore that autosaved file work for a few moments on it the file disappears out of that folder, and that seems to be the end of that file.

@victor_girardet you better start saving files when you work on them the moment you have started putting work into it. best you save it when you open it then the file will have a place and the autosave can act.

sorry, I edited my response as I noticed you are on a mac.

you can use versions to go back and grab older files from time machine on the mac. see my updated response above. and again, if you don’t have time machine set up PLEASE DO IT NOW!

no prob, i also had a mess with this working on some experiments which turned out cool and having rhino crash on me…

would be interesting where the file gets tossed to after it vanishes by itself.

that only starts working once the file has a solid place unfortunately, in this case the file gets tossed into outer space.
