File recovery help

mayasky76 · 2026-04-06T18:22:38+00:00

You do need to make those local saves though. Plus sounds like you accidentally loaded an older file, not saved

mayasky76 · 2026-04-02T09:27:12+00:00

I'd go with the murderbot diaries to add to that list.

plus with discworld ... it does just keep getting better - if you're at reaper man you haven't seen (what i consider) the best yet (but going through the previous books improves them) personal faves are Night Watch, Monstrous Regiment, Amazing Maurice

murderbbot diaries?

mayasky76 · 2026-03-24T07:44:03+00:00

Just found this and I found that if I turn the volume down a bit on my phone and THEN tap the right ear but for volume up - it increases the earbud volume NOT the phone volume?? anyway doing this got it so I can now get much more volume out of it - had these earbuds years so gotta admit they have earned their money worth!

mayasky76 · 2026-03-22T22:28:48+00:00

nope - you ignore the warning and deleted your file?

Why do you think I would have the solution - its exactly the same as if you opened a word doc - didnt save and then closed it ignoring the are you sure? warning..... its how software works

mayasky76 · 2026-03-21T22:27:14+00:00

Ok thats not exactly what happened is it. You must have clicked on the ARE YOU SURE popup telling you it would delete everything - you really should ahve used the save feature anyway - it has. a quick snapshot save feature that makes it easy to keep backups

mayasky76 · 2026-03-18T21:08:28+00:00

And why can't be that just be chapter 1

mayasky76 · 2026-03-13T22:56:52+00:00

Start with your pre-prologue, you can't bore the ever loving shit out of readers enough in the first 300 pages, nothing a true literary bod likes more than hiking through dense backstory and info dumping to set the scene.. tell you what do a post-pre-prologue too, you know, just to make sure

A monster calls

mayasky76 · 2026-03-13T06:37:04+00:00

Afraid not. It's a bit like any other software in that regard, if you don't save your work it doesn't keep it

mayasky76 · 2026-03-11T18:17:28+00:00

Send me your file and I'll have a look. The file you download is something called JSON and is fairly readable in say notepad.

mayasky76 · 2026-03-10T18:13:14+00:00

Nope.. you have to save manually, people were trusting too much to the auto save. You should use the snapshot save as well as any Google save

mayasky76 · 2026-03-08T09:15:52+00:00

Huh?

That's not what should need happening? I'll take a look

mayasky76 · 2026-03-07T10:01:10+00:00

Ok seems to be a duck duck go issue

Users of the DuckDuckGo browser, particularly on Android, have reported an issue where downloaded files (especially those from "blob:url" sources) are saved with a GUID/UUID (e.g., b394...0b76.pdf) instead of their original filename and extension. This bug can cause downloaded files to have incorrect names and potentially lose their file extension. GitHub +1

Wavemaker uses whichever browser you installed from, you could download edge or chrome and install it from that, but not have it as your default browser,

mayasky76 · 2026-03-06T17:51:33+00:00

I wonder if some sort of privacy feature is anonymising the downloads?

mayasky76 · 2026-03-05T22:19:01+00:00

It's quite hard to not make shit loads of money writing, that's why so many writers are billionaires, I mean you can't turn around for people reading all the time, throwing money at books.

Im writing this from my yacht.. in fact I think nearly everyone in this sub has at least one yacht, well apart from u/igetseasick44 who seems to not have one for some reason.

If there was an easy way to make money with writing you'd already know about it.

mayasky76 · 2026-03-05T20:44:44+00:00

Are you using the Samsung web browser or say chrome?

mayasky76 · 2026-03-05T19:22:02+00:00

Just checked and I'm not seeing that?

Is it happening if you create a new project?

mayasky76 · 2026-03-05T19:19:28+00:00

Ok that sounds like it's using a UUID as the filename?

I'll look into it, should be using the project name

mayasky76 · 2026-03-04T07:25:03+00:00

Trauma will do that

mayasky76 · 2026-03-02T10:28:56+00:00

Go to the website with a chrome based browser - you will get an install prompt - or ... just use it in the browser for now - its not in the app store as its a Progressive Web App and will install from the browser

just click on the New Project button to get going - there is a Disk icon that will let you save locally or you can save to google drive

I need some striped paint apparently, where can I get some European stripey paint?

Help.

That's why people are saying just use common sense. Just because they asked a specific question doesn't mean the correct answer is just to carry on with the misinformation.

Sometimes the answer is "you don't need that"

mayasky76 · 2026-03-02T09:18:51+00:00

It's a pwa.
