TexStudio Autosave Recovery Question

So I was using Texstudio to write an article and the computer just froze. I had to restart the computer, my 2 hour work was gone. I was stupid enough to not save it at all...
Does anyone know if Texstudio auto saves your document like MS word? Is there a way that I can recover it? (I built it countless times when I was writing the article.)

If you built it, it should be saved somewhere. That file might be corrupted though.

TeXstudio does not save any temporary copies of your file.
There is an option Advanced Editor -> Special Options -> Auto Save All Files. When activated, this callsFile -> Save All` in regular intervals. However, this function is deactivated by default, because it saves and thus overwrites your original file. Since a user should be aware of this behavior and its consequences, it is not activated by default.

RStudio's solution to this is to store temporary copies of each file in a hidden folder in the same location as the main file and save every five seconds, if that helps.

Tim's advice is correct. In 5 easy steps:
- Select Options menu
- Select Configure TexStudio submenu
- Near the lower left corner (not very visible) check the "Advanced options" checkbox
- Now you see the "Advanced Editor" submenu: select it
- In the "Special Options" paragraph "Save automatically all files": select the time interval you like
That's it!
