AbiWord Auto save
#1
Hi


I had a premature shut down ( see other post ) which resulted in AbiWord closing and a Letter that I was preparing for over an hour was lost .


But as AbiWord is set up to Auto save every 5 mins its not a calamity .
So all I need is to get it back .>>>>but how ??


Could not find a an option in ABI programs own  Menu's


Tried Help > help contents >search >got "The [/size]AbiWord website[/size] can be searched )  > No "Search " option available
[/size]
[/size]Tried Twiki > searched for Auto Save & Autosave with similar outcomes

There is no page titled "autosave".

Tried Googling - it is a known issue but unable to find a Solved post


All I gleaned was the Auto Saves were a .BAK file  in a Hidden folder  without a known place it might be searched for .


I tried a Catfish Search of my "File System " for .BAK  but the results did not include any from AbiWord
Then  searched for ABI found the file of my letter I saved as a named file soon after I started a New Document .


Can anyone help me (hopefully intact ) where ABI put its files .


What is the sense of having an Auto Save feature that is not easily accessible when disaster strikes
