Hi All,
I'm working in Geogebra 4.0 and I was working in a file and parallel to it I wanted to open another existing file for comparison and as I double clicked on the already saved file it opened up, but the file I hadn't saved and the one I was working in vanished. I'm wondering whether there is any way to recover/find this file that I haven't saved yet... How is it possible that the file that I opened "replaced" the one I was working in? I don't quite understand... I had about 1.5 hours of work in the file that I lost. Any suggestions? Why would this have happened? Thanks for your help!
Take care,
Anna
The same question 
Hi,
you can try to check if there is any "GeoGebraUndoInfo.. .ggb" file in your temporary directory, those are older versions of the files you've been working on (used by GeoGebra for undo/redo as the name indicates). If you don't know where your temporary directory is located just ask Google (e.g. "location of temp in win xp").

Hi Florian,
Thank you very much for taking the time to get back to me! Unfortunately I have a MacBook Pro, so the Google search for windows machines will not be applicable. Do you know how to find the temporary save-space on Macintosh computers? Thanks a lot again.
Take care,
Anna
Hi,
you may look at "/var/folders" and "/Library/Caches". Just search for .ggb files in those locations. I don't own a Mac, so I'm unable to check if GeoGebra indeed stores its temporary files there.

With the default settings, the directory is
/Users/user_name/Library/Caches/Java/cache
mac osx

Hi Jtico,
I looked in my cache, but couldn't find any files that had ggb extension or could be opened with Geogebra. Nevertheless, thanks for your help!
Take care,

This is a bug, we are working on it (see http://www.geogebra.org/tra...)
thanks,
