Hi everyone another question. My computer shut down when I was about to save a inkscape drawing it took a while to do and im not sure if I can do what I did again is there a way to get it back these is proably a impossible question but I thought might aswell ask.

Hi rosie, there is a chance that Inkscape automatically saved a copy at some point so you might not lose all of your work. When you reopen Inkscape look in your preferences dialog under Input/output, there should be a section for autosave. if it is enabled, the 'path' will tell you where to find the autosaved copies. The filename will tell you the time and dte it was saved. (e.g. inkscape-autosave-0-2012_08_07_00_26_17-001.svg).
Important! If it is autosaving you want to shut inkscape down and go to that location quickly, because once inkscape reaches the maximum number of autosaves it will start deleting the oldest ones to make room for newer files. so you might actually have the saved file you need - only to have it be overwritten just by leaving Inkscape running and going for a walk!

Oh thank you I looked in inkscape prefrences and I dont see a input and output I do see a svg output and a save which says enable auto save and a tiny box that lets you check it its not checked so I guess it didn't auto save. But now that I know that inkscape can auto save ill be sure to check it thank you for telling me it could
