Dorico 6.2.10 Mac Ventura
Hi
I opened the recent file section today to find
the file I was working on yesterday had gone
- other recent documents.
Can anyone tell me where I am likely to find them. I save as I go.
Many thanks
Patrick
Do you not know where you saved it?
Use Spotlight to search for the file on your disk. .
If it still can’t be found, you should have a backup copy in ~/Documents/Dorico Projects/Backup Files/
(Can’t remember the exact name of the folder, but it’s Backup something.)
Many thanks…
I checked back-ups..not there,…auto- save no joy. (Nothing saved) No sign of unsaved files coming up as a warning from Dorico
I’ve been working from ‘open recent’ so not sure where files are saved. I was hoping I’d find some kind of back-up. My error.
Looks like a long search on the desktop.
Have a cool evening 
Start here:
~/Documents/Dorico Projects/
It’s the default location for saved projects.
Thank you…my daughter, researcher extraordinaire, found it as an auto- save in the bin. Not sure why auto- save’s would go straight to the bin but I will be checking before I delete in future.
A wake-up call to be more stringent with my filing.
Have a great evening.

This is why
Removal of auto-save files
All files in the AutoSave folder are automatically deleted when you close their corresponding projects and also when you quit Dorico Pro. You can find deleted auto-saved projects in the bin on your computer. Dorico Pro automatically adds “[AutoSave]” to the end of auto-saved project file names so you can identify them.
Important
When Dorico Pro deletes files from the AutoSave folder, this includes any files in the folder, not just auto-saved Dorico projects. Therefore, it is important that you do not manually save anything in the AutoSave folder
Thanks for the info…
