Recover painting from .tmp files after crash?

[Krigen813]

Hi markw. Thank you for the reply and the welcome. I don't know how I managed to not save at all! All of the practicing and toying I did leading up to that I saved for future toying in other .ptg files like it was second nature. I guess I got too excited about having some confidence of where I was going with this and how. I need a script that pops up once a few minutes after opening ArtRage and again once a few minutes after creating a new layer that then asks me "did you save?" lol.

Time to delete the space wasting .tmp files and get back to the literal drawing board. I look forward to posting this piece in the WIP section "soon."

Also of note: I was very surprised by this crash. I've used ArtRage since my old Sony Viao came with ArtRage Studio and I had upgraded to AR4 and this is the first time I've ever had it crash. I've even worked on much larger canvases than this was with no issue besides a little lag. Guess it just wasn't my night.
