      Hello, i was using notepad when i made a wrong manipulation, which caused me to lose the savegame of the game i was playing.
      Unfortunately, I saved the savegame and I can no longer recover the savegame in the game. I would like to know if it is possible to recover the old savegames of the document. thanks in advance

        @Clément-Berguerand ,

        By default, Notepad++ enables the Settings > Preferences > Backup option for session-snapshot-periodic-backup, which only keeps a temporary backup copy to keep unsaved changes, it’s not a true “backup”, and it goes away when you hit SAVE or CLOSE in Notepad++

        Notepad++ has an additional feature “backup on save” available in the same Preferences dialog, which will create filename.bak or similar every time you hit SAVE. But if you didn’t already have that option enabled, it won’t help you now, and there’s nothing that Notepad++ can do for you. If you did already have that option enabled, there should be a .bak file next to your saved game, or in the “custom backup directory” listed in the Preferences dialog. (Notepad++ doesn’t enable that option by default because when the developer tried, a plethora of users complained about too many .bak files being created that they didn’t want. I argued in favor of data safety, but don’t-create-.bak-files-by-default crowd won that argument.)

        For future data safety, I highly recommend reading our backup features and autosave plugin FAQ, and set things up to make it less likely that you will lose your data.

        If your data is lost, that FAQ does mention a potential piece of software (not officially recommended or endorsed, other than some users have had luck with that tool) that can help recover deleted files.

        Good luck.

          Thank you very much. I’ll try to do it.
