Alpha_Kand Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hello all! I am not new to Paint.net but I have run across a problem(of course). I have this program called Game Maker. You can google it but the name gives it away :wink:. Anyway, I linked up game maker with Paint.net so I can make sprites, backgrounds, etc, but unfortunately when I was finished with making my sprite I saved it and got out of Paint.net and it returned to game maker. To make a long description short, when it did return it messed it all up. So here is the question. I DID save it before I closed paint.net but it "saved" it to game maker. So is there a way to retrieve that file in a back-up? Strangely enough when I go to the 'Open recent' menu it actually shows my file but won't let me into it. It says it can't find the file...

Rick Brewster Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Paint.NET does not auto save anything. Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha_Kand Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Aww... thats a real bummer. Oh well, it's probably good that I have to redo it for I had the shading coming from only one corner so when the object rotated it would have a different light origin places making it weird for this game. The only regret is that I worked on it for 40 minutes... Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 The thumbnails in the Recent menu are stored separately from the files. Works the same in other programs too. Once you move the file, the list then refers to a file that no longer exists in that location. Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.
