cborer Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) Hi Yesterday IC had a problem with a file So IC saved it somewhere. I saw it and wanted to move it but I forgot! I was able to go on with it and saved it several times. Now I cannot find the file. It must be somewhere in the system. Every idea is welcome! I wasn't able to find it with search /Name/Date/.ics/ Thanks Carlo Edited April 18, 2009 by cborer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronKevin Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 IronCAD normally saves it's temp files in one of these locations (unless you have customized your Windows Temp folder location): XP: C:\Documents and Settings\login-name\Local Settings\Temp Vista: C:\Users\login-name\AppData\Local\Temp These folders are hidden by default so Windows won't include them in a search.

Doug Gower Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I've been wondering about this so while I'm at it... how can you tell IC save's a back up? Is it always automatic or is there a setting to turn it on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 These aren't backup files, just temp storage files that can (if the timing was just right when it was writing to the temp file during the crash) be opened. They typically are named something like ~DF??????.tmp and if you rename them to .ics you might be able to open them. The next major release will have a file backup function.
