Hmmm, after accidentally loosing a pile of work (i hate you ctrl-w, much too close to ctrl-q) i went to find the quit.blend file, and there wasnt one! nor was there a tmp folder, using “recover last session” fails, because these dont exist.
any idea what happened?
(btw, i dont think they ever did exist on this box, everything is a fresh install)
edit
i have since set up a tmp folder in the file paths menu, which works fine. but still, why would one not have been created?
