for me a sad case - xcf -file lost

Hi, friends,

working with my Wacom-tablet for 20 min without saving (of course as a .xcf - file !!!! :-) )

GIMP got hung up and closed. No chance to save my data. If important: I tried to use the

bucket fill and was trying to select the colour. GIMP go on strike (may be because it is 24:00 or 00:00

Is there anywhere a hidden place on my disk where GIMP save my work in the background (like Open Office) ??

And: It would be great to have this restore-function in GIMP too when restartng a hung-up GIMP.

To talk about or to solve problems like this is (in my eyes) more important than an annoying sad-case - discussion

Thanks for help!

Yours Konrad

Sadly, no.

I agree. Right now the GIMP core is being reworked - has largely been reworked; next will probably be "non-destructive editing", and I really hope then there could be an on-disk journal for recovery and for saving undo history across sessions.
