Hi everyone,
I’m freaking out - my computer shut itself down overnight (for no known reason, it’s been doing this) and when I reopened Twine (2.3.9) in the morning, there were no stories in my library. I’ve been working HARD on a story for the past few weeks (in Harlowe, if it matters), and there’s still an HTML file in my Documents\Twine\Stories folder whose last-modified time seems to reflect when I was working on it, but dragging it in or trying to import it doesn’t seem to register with the program. How can I recover my work?? I was supposed to turn this in in a few days and I hope I don’t have to spend those days recreating what I already had from memory instead of finishing the thing…
I’m able to import an automatically created backup from two weeks ago which is the most recent one created, but it’s got practically nothing in it.
Thank you!
EDIT: I was able to import one of the temp files created when I tested out portions of the story. I haven’t yet poked around it to make sure everything is there, but at least the map looks right; luckily I’d tested it fairly recently before stopping for the night, so I’ve only lost a little work. I’d still like to know what I could have done if this weren’t an option!
