recover scripting work after a crash ?

[jettam]

If maya crashes is their a way to recover the work that I have done in the script window ?  Like does it save it in a temp folder somewhere ?

[Marcus Ottosson]

As far as I know, no it doesn't. :( It's bitten me many times as well. I don't think you can even copy the text, have Maya crash, and then paste it back. It'll go ahead and wipe the copy-buffer for you. It's out to get you!

Like Marcuss mentioned, its gone for good. I try dev in an IDE and then just import and refresh the module in Maya. That way you dont get caught out by Maya not playing nice.

This is not entirely true. Your script editor remp files are stored in [usr]/docs/maya/maya-20xx/prefs/scrptEditorTemp/

The files can be openned in any text editor. Sometimes, because of multi sessions of maya at the same time or re-installs, the scripts you were working on can be found in there even though they do not auto load into maya's script editor.

Also, in your [usr]/windows/temp dir you can often recover script temp files from there that are not in your scriptEditorTemp dir or were not commited by saving prefs or clising/opening mayas script editor following a crash.

If you're doing something you suspect might crash Maya, you can save the Script Editor without closing Maya, like this:

# Save contents of Script Editor

import maya.cmds as cmds

import maya.mel as mel

cmds.savePrefs(general=True) # This saves tab names, among other stuff.

mel.eval('syncExecuterBackupFiles') # This saves tab contents.

This is good to know, thanks..

Charcoal editor which I use , saves the buffers before compiling , and also as an auto-save feature that I don't use because It's rumored to in some cases delete the files/buffers contents
