I forgot how un-useless Adobe's autorecovery is (at least in Photoshop and Illustrator; idk about Premiere and all that). Even a cracked portable version running in Wine, lol. I've had so many MS Office autosave (or lack thereof; or corrupt thereof) disasters […]

If you have autosaving and autorecovery turned on a backup might be in Documents/CELSYS/CLIPStudioPaintData, from there there'll be several folders with backups depending on how the backup was made.

So today I discovered if you accidentally save a word document to your applications folder, not only will the data in the document be erased, but the autorecovery file will disappear.

I was thrilled yesterday that, after a while of having a productivity block, I finally got significant work done. This morning, I discovered that Word crashed and the autorecovery feature failed, so everything I got done is now lost. Fire Microsoft into the sun.

I've just lost a word file with several days of work, disappeared. I have cloud backups (!/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data/Library/Preferences/AutoRecovery/AutoRecovery save of 1.docx)

But when I download those files, Word tells me "Word cannot open the file because the file format […]

I'm not a Mac person, but try:

Word / Preferences / Save / Save Options / Save Autorecover info (may find a previous version)

Check out the AutoRecovery folder by going to Finder / Go / Go to Folder, then: ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data/Library/Preferences/AutoRecovery/

When you spend 3h addressing comments from your supervisor and #word crashes and you didn't save the corrections. You think, "there is surely an autorecovery file", but there is none!😡😡😡😡😡 #phdlife

lost some good progress on Rivele's sheet. Guess at some point I turned off the autorecovery save feature too, for whatever dumbass reason.

Sigh.

oh noooo autorecovery pleeeeeeease

even the most out there menial things can have a positive impact on people when you barely realize you put it out in the world. worst case scenario is that whenever im just unsure of something or just really needed it -for me-, autorecovery canvas lasts for like a week lol

just spent fifteen minutes trying to save my work because Excel thought it's more fun to crash three times

thank the maker for autorecovery, is all I have to say on the matter

Midnight repo hits different when the key is… in jail 😳

Had to call a locksmith at 11PM just to break in and start this Range Rover.

This one got wild fast…

sometimes autorecovery comes through 🙏

Yeah, that's been my first port of call. I've been to autorecovery, terminal (three ways), seeing if my printer had a history to plunder (but the document was over a month ago, and it doesn't), what's in the bin, properties, reviewing, iCloud, my 365 portal... nothing. Nada. Thanks tho!

Nothing more discouraging than writing some stuff you’re excited about only to have autosave freeze your computer without actually saving the progress. I hate you MS Word autorecovery 😫 #writing

Gonna have a fucking stroke from how many times my Photoshop has crashed, and AutoRecovery goes 'I don't feel like helping'. I just lost 2 hours of work on a piece I've been struggling to get to as is.
I try to fucking save often but apparently the point I THOUGHT I saved at didn't fucking happen.
