On the MacBook, I was working on a piece in CsoundQt yesterday - and as I was going alone, I was hitting Ctrl-S. After about 8 very productive hours, it was done and I was putting the final touches on it - when... CsoundQt crashed. And, I could not locate the file that I had been editing anywhere? - I must have been saving it in some TMP directory somewhere - not sure. It was derived from the new .csd on the manpage for the turnon opcode. - does anyone have any suggestions on how I might find this file? Tarmo, is there a folder in which the CsoundQt app typically stores the files it is temporarily editing? I tried most of the tricks I know and yet, I was not successful. It was a pretty little thing. It would be great if I could find the file (maybe it is 'hidden') (maybe it is 'invisible' or renamed with some tmp file name that does not have a .csd. Maybe there is some power trick that one of you knows to reveal ALL files created on the Mac between 8 am and 6 pm on January 21, 2021. Thanks for any suggestions and tips you might be able to offer.

Hi, in linux and macos files are saved to
"/tmp/csound-tmpXXXXXXXX.csd", where the Xs are replaced by some
unique string. You can search there and grep the .csds for some
known string in your specific file good luck, eduardo On 22.01.21 22:38, Dr. Richard Boulanger wrote:

Hi! According to Qt documentation https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstandardpaths.html I read for MacOS: "
" hm... I don't know how to figure it out. Do you have PythonQt support in your CsoundQt? You could try to enter the following lines in the python console: from PythonQt.Qt import * QDir.tempPath()or QStandardPaths.writableLocation(QStandardPaths.TempLocation) It should return the temporaroy location in the Python console. Maybe it gives a hint? But strange there was nothing in recent files? And, didn't you have "Save automatically on Run" ticked on Configrue->Editor (should be by default, I guess... ) Hope you get it back... tarmo Kontakt Eduardo Moguillansky (<eduardo.moguillansky@gmail.com>) kirjutas kuupäeval L, 23. jaanuar 2021 kell 00:18:

There might have been something in Recent files, but I got so nervous, I started opening everything I could find on all my drives - which meant that the 'recent files' got filled up with all those... recently opened files. My first place to look should have been the 'recent files' but I was in a state of panic and shock. It was all done... I was just editing a note to thank Stefano Cucci for the inspiration - and then POOF - gone. I will look now. Thanks for your advice. Thanks also to Eduardo too!!!! -R Dr. Richard Boulanger Professor of Electronic Production and Design Berklee College of Music Professional Writing and Technology Division On Fri, Jan 22, 2021 at 6:18 PM Tarmo Johannes <trmjhnns@gmail.com> wrote:
