If it does so, then it will try to save the document you were working on.


===On Unix (Linux, Mac OS X, *BSD, ...)===
When Inkscape crashes, it tries to save the document as a backup with following name:


Inkscape will try to save to
  <filename>.<datetime>.#
# your home directory as <code>filename.<datetime>.#</code>
 
# <code>/tmp/filename.<datetime>.#</code>
If the document has not been saved yet, the name is:
# the current directory as <code>filename.<datetime>.#</code>
 
  inkscape-emergency.<datetime>.#
 
Note, that there is no <code>.svg</code> file name ending.
 
=== On Unix (Linux, Mac OS X, *BSD, etc.) ===
 
Inkscape tries to save in the following paths:
 
# Home directory (<code>~/</code>, <code>$HOME</code>, <code>/home/<username>/</code>)
# <code>/tmp/</code>
# In the current working directory
(in that order).
(in that order).


If the document does not already have a name, the filename is <code>inkscape-emergency<datetime>.#</code>.
=== On Windows ===


Note that the saved file will ''not'' have the <code>.svg</code> extension!
Inkscape tries to save in <code>%UserProfile%</code>:


===On Windows===
* XP/2003: <code>C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\</code>
Inkscape will try to save to:<br>
* Vista/7: <code>C:\Users\<username>\</code>
<code>C:\Documents and Settings\<yourname>\</code>

When Inkscape crashes, it tries to save the document as a backup with following name:

 <filename>.<datetime>.#

If the document has not been saved yet, the name is:

 inkscape-emergency.<datetime>.#

Note, that there is no .svg file name ending.

On Unix (Linux, Mac OS X, *BSD, etc.)

Inkscape tries to save in the following paths:

  1. Home directory (~/, $HOME, /home/<username>/)
  2. /tmp/
  3. In the current working directory

(in that order).

On Windows

Inkscape tries to save in %UserProfile%:

  • XP/2003: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\
  • Vista/7: C:\Users\<username>\
