Jesus Saves… Early and often.
Phrase from the early 90’s, when saving was often to a floppy, and systems were nowhere near as stable as today.
Control-S is your friend.
Unless you save too often and the file was in the middle of saving or loading something and the file corrupts. :)
I’ve never seen that, and not sure how any system could be so badly designed to permit this.
And I’ve been using systems since DOS 1.1 (and punched cards before that).
*ignores other comments that already do so and attempts to educates you on the fact that you should have saved your work, thus positioning myself as your guide and mentor in my head to briefly drown out my insecurities and lack of purpose*
AutoSave is your friend.
Yeah, autosave is such a lifesaver, I enable it wherever I can, Blender, Krita, Inkscape, Scribus, Thunderbird, autosave it all! And do your backups!
Yep, and with seconds at best delays. Stopped typing or making changes for three seconds? Save!!
Though autosave kinda’ requires a huge undo limit, at least for me when doing anything remotely artsy. I’m nowhere good enough to not make minutes-long mistakes.
my coping mechanism for this is to save after every change. it’s reflexive now. I lost a LOT of work in the floppy days; so much lost work.
