Auto save files

I can find the path to Bricscad's auto saved files. However despite having windows explorer set to show hidden file extensions, I'm not seeing .sv$ files. So no sure how to recover my saved files.

    I find mine where it says OK - invaluable, sometimes. Perhaps none are being saved, or saved somewhere else for some reason?

    I normally have to do a search from the root of the directory, for *.sv$. I ended up putting a shortcut on my desktop to find it.

    Also note that autosaving is not the default behavior, at least up through v14. Rather, you must set it, and also the frequency you want this to happen.
