Image recovery from crash dump?

[face]

Hello, I'm hoping with everything in me you can help me recover my image from a crash dump. Also, as a new monthly supporter, I ask please please please include a feature when aseprite crashes to have it either save a copy of what is on the canvas or copy it to the clipboard.

Respectfully,

Armando Cornaglia

Hi Armando,

I'm so sorry but I've to tell you that we cannot recover sprites from crash dumps :(

I've recovered .ase files before, but it was because some problems in the serialization of previous aseprite version. I'm really sorry.

I'll create a issue with high priority to mitigate data loss for the next version: https://code.google.com/p/aseprite/issues/detail?id=151

The problem with crashes is that when you detect the crash signal, you cannot trust in the data (it is already corrupted). For example, in previous versions of ASE there was a auto-sessions save process in case of crash, but that was useless because the sprite was already corrupted. (I saw your crash dump, and the sprite had corrupted internal data of cel structure, so it's a bigger internal problem.)

I'll try to work on this issues for the next release.
