AbiWord Auto save

[firenice03]

Not using AbiWord myself... but most will typically prompt upon reopening after a crash...
That said.. It looks like Auto Save has manual intervention ie. Save interval in minutes (if configured)..
Depending on time interval and crash - it may not have saved.. If a lengthy interval..
After scouring the usuals - TMP, Application Directory, Docs Folder etc...

Last I can think of is.. a "find"... You would need to know the name or partial name of the file - assuming a tmp file  keeps part of it
And you will need to do this in terminal... (Alt Ctrl T)

Code:

sudo find / -iname *FILE*

replace FILE with your files name..

I use sudo as it will omit permission denied results (sudo has access to all)...
Find where on the drive "/" (root)
-iname = the name of the file.. -i ignores case
*FILE* = "*" are wild card characters in-front and behind part of the name ie *hospital* or *untitled* or *Docum*

Good Luck!!
Oh and CLOSE Terminal when your finished so no longer using sudo...

PS Save often - Save Frequent... Ctrl S is your friend... And never trust a hard drive
