David Foster Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I spent the last two weeks writing out a week long talk I have to give. This was the first time I wrote it using papers in Accordance. I specifically remember saving it, since it was very scared about losing it. However, when I opened up my computer last night, the tab it was in was gone along with the file. I can't find it anywhere. Not with accordance searches or spotlight searches. I also went into the library on my HD and looks in the Accordance file there... nothing. Can anyone explain 1) How a document/module can disappear when accordance wasn't even shut down? And 2) Is there anyway of recovering it? Thanks kindly!

R. Mansfield Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Can you see it in the Papers section of your Library, near the bottom, under My Stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 You could also try opening an autosaved session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diatheke76 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Every time I’ve done one it always saves automatically. I hope you get it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Λύχνις Δαν Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 There appear to be two locations you might find the file. <your user home directory>/Documents/Accordance Files/Papers you will find the file here under it's original name if it's here but I suspect it isn't given what you are reporting. <your user home directory>/Library/Caches/com.OakTree.Accordance/Autosaved\ Papers/<name of paper> you will find dated and timed versions of autosaved versions of the file here if they have not been removed. I don't know how long they are kept but I have some examples going back to 2016. If you find these in the Finder you can double click on them and Accordance will open them. If you have one of these you can then save it from the little gear wheel menu by Save A Copy As ... This will appear in the standard papers location. If that doesn't help I used the Terminal and the OSX "find" command to find the file: find ./ -name "*<SOME PART OF THE NAME OF THE PAPER>*" Much easier to use and hence more reliable than Spotlight in my experience, but then Spotlight and I have never really got along.
