No backup file in my home folder when Inkscape crashes

Postby the_gerbil » Sat May 01, 2010 8:30 pm

Hi all!

Thank you very much in advance for the help.

Inkscape crashes quite frequently in my computer, issues with libcairo-2.dll, apparently. But I have learn to live with that because I know that every time it crashes, there is a backup copy of the current job in C:/Users/Myuser/ (Windows 7)

But after following a tutorial to make my wacom working with Inkscape, it doesn't save any backup any more!
This tutorial in question asks to remove all the data in two or three temp folders, and I think this is something to do with my problem.

I tried reinstalling Inkscape but I still have the same issues (crashing and no backup in my home folder).

Any ideas?

Thank you!!

Check that "Enabled autosave" is set and has a valid path under Inkscape Preferences > Save.

Thanks for the suggestion microUgly.

I've set up autosave a couple days ago and it is doing its job nicely.
But you know what? Since I installed The gimp (also a couple of days ago), inkscape hasn't freeze yet :-D
