Recovery at last.

Apparently my last save, last night, was not the last word for my 148 layer Illustrator file. At some point I erred and lost an evenings work. As evidenced by the BSOD report that awaited my arrival this morning. Big crash of the Vista-cular variety. Took all day to recover which scotched my writing time today. Ah well, have to catch up tomorrow.

I am looking into an autosave script that can run as an adjunct to Illustrator CS4. I am familiar with the argument that autosaves in creative programs are an interruption, but balanced against repeating work I would say its well worth it. It should be controllable by the user and part of the actions or history panel. Somehow.

Needs thinking.

A short interesting read....
