JiAngelo Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Started working on a new plan yesterday that I began with Chief 7's profile.plan so it was labeled untitled. Forgot to save it and the program just crashed. Re-opened the program and I can find the archives of the other older plans I had open at the time, but I can't find the untitled.plan's backup in the archive data folder. Any ideas where it could be? I'd like to not have to redo all the work. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_Park Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 No automatic backups are made until you first save. It might be nice if we did that, but the assumption is that if you didn't save you were doing some sort of scratch work that you don't want to take up space on your computer. Sorry about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An untitled plan will not be kept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopsaw Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Not saying that Doug is incorrect but for some reason I have a bunch of Untitled plan files that show up in "File Explorer" when I search "Untitled" and they are auto_save.plan or auto_save_bak.plan possibly put there by windows from a power failure or computer crash but worth a look anyway. Don't think I have ever saved a plan file as Untitled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodcraftdesign Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I also searched file explorer for untitled, I did not have any plan files saved as untitled. This is a process problem on my end, but it would really be nice to have a single backup file running called untitled in archives. Even if this was overwritten each time you started a new sketch.
