(TW5) Firefox Crash Empty TW File.

[Hail Bent]

Hello TW Community,

I'm new to TW and I just had a something weird happen. I was saving my TW5 file and Firefox crashed and in so doing the TW file I was working on has nothing in it. I am using the latest Firefox with the Tiddlyfox plugin on Windows 7. Is there a way to retrieve the missing data? I have been doing some searching but I must not be that good at it since I found nothing of interest.

Hi Hail,

Sorry to read that. .. but there may be no way to get something back. TW doesn't create backups yet.

Awe, Thanks. I just have to keep better care with more frequent backups. I got some good ideas about backing up so hopefully I don't experience that again...

Hi, there is a fork version of Tiddlyfox with backup capabilities, it works pretty well (create a folder with one file per day).

See BJ (buggyj) GitHub : https://github.com/buggyj/TiddlyFox/tree/saver

But keep in mind to do manual nd regular backup ;)
