Gone forever?by wrothnie - 07:56PM, Aug 24, 2005 |

I spent some hours this morning typing my research into a new Notebook.
I went to save, the spinning beachball/pizza of death thing eventually started happening. I opened Force Quit and, sure enough, Notebook is not responding. I hadn't done a save before this. I'm using OS10.4. Anyone know if there is any way I can (a) save the document or (b) whether there is some temporary copy stored somewhere like happens with a Word doc if Word crashes? |

There IS an autosave feature, but I don't remember if it's turned on by default or not... Not much help I'm afraid...

Thanks. According to my preferences, the autosave feature is checked (well, ticked) and so supposedly saves every 5 minutes - but where?

I thought that since you are using Tiger (Mac OS 10.4) you could do a search for ".nb" (Omit the quotes) I tried to simulate this but NB did not automatically save a previously unsaved file (untitled.nb). Maybe Jayson could add this as a feature: when autosave is function is checked, prompt user for name to save new document.

I think the work-around here is to save the file when you first start a new notebook and then the autosave feature will be initiated.

I just started using notebook tonight and saw the following entry in the quickstart pdf document for notebook hope this helps)By default, NoteBook saves your Notebooks in your ~/ Documents/ Notebooks folder.

Thanks. I don't seem to have a default Notebooks folder in my documents folder (or any other folder for that matter. I think that George at Penn's warning to save the notebook when you start it so that the automatic saving etc. is triggered is good advice.
