#IS THERE A TEMP FOLDER ON MAC MAC#
Mac stores temporary files in a specific folder. Some of them work to help provide faster browsing speed without delaying the loading on Mac, while those outdated ones would take up much space for dragging down the performance of your Mac. In most cases, temporary files would come in the form of cache, including those from apps, systems, browsers, outdated system logs, and intermediate document versions. Even when Mac is running, the system would also generate temporary files to ensure the proper performance of the device. Instead it will tell you the location of the temp file before the crash so you can go decide whether to try to recover it.Basically, temp files, alias temporary files refer to the data or files generated while we are running apps and browsing the Internet on Mac. When you save, if it crashes or has a save error, it doesn't go ahead and overwrite the original file. I believe it stores its temp files in the user temp folder. When you save, it first writes to that temp file, then it overwrites the main file if all went well. There's an extra file in the working folder that starts with ~ that is the current working file. What I was referring to when I said most programs would work on a temp version of the file would be something like MS Office does. But the OP never mentioned that situation, so it can't be ruled out that it could happen with just any editor crash.Īs for temp files, it may be saved to a temp file when Play is pressed, but the editor could certainly crash without you ever pressing play and generating a backup temp file during that session. File was corrupted on save, editor didn't crash, you kept working. The scene you were working in was probably just loaded into memory even after the. It wasn't until I shutdown Unity/my computer and reloaded it the next day that I noticed my scene was entirely gone from the project and my hard drive (or at least the OS' information pointing to the location of my scene file).Ĭlick to expand.I didn't catch that yours happened on saving the scene.
It was giving me errors stating Unity had "Failed to save the scene", however I could re-save the scene and it would seemingly save. so I guess the new moral of the story is: Here's another reason to backup your projects!
Not sure, anyway moral of the story is: This can happen, be sure to backup your projects! Although you should already be doing backups.
#IS THERE A TEMP FOLDER ON MAC CODE#
This would mean it's likely that the scene "failing to save" (for whatever reason, see my description of the type of code I was writing in previous post) may have in turn deleted my scene, or corrupted the file. Maybe when I saved, and it gave the error, what I was seeing in the editor was a temporary version of the scene when really the scene had already been erased.? Then upon reload, as Eric5h5 says, the temp file was erased which alerted me to the fact that the scene file was no longer in my computer. It wasn't until I shutdown Unity/my computer and reloaded it the next day that I noticed my scene was entirely gone from the project and my hard drive (or at least the OS' information pointing to the location of my scene file).
