Reply To: Crashes and lost preferences

I don’t know about the crash, but one way that might help retain your preferences is to get them set up as you like, then quit — if the quit doesn’t crash, they would (probably) stick. And of course, if you change one mid-session, close your files and quit again.

And for those ID people deep into the inner workings: Is there a preference file one could save elsewhere, then copy back if needed? The list of recent documents might return to what’s in that file — if that file contains the list — but at least the preferences would be there.
