How do I disable auto-recovery files from opening every time I open Photoshop?

Hi! I have read several forums about how to disable the auto-recovery feature. However, I don't want to disable the auto-recovery because I like that it saves my work in case of crash. It's just annoying that everytime I open photoshop all those previous files auto open. Is there anyway to make it stop? I read that there is a file that you delete, but will that stop the auto-recovery feature? Thanks in advance for your help!
Oh! It's Photoshop CS 6 and the os is Mountain Lion. Thanks!

On Windows, if Photoshop crashes, the autorecovery files are not cleared. On next launch, Photoshop sees those autorecovery files and reopens them.
When Photoshop closes successfully, it deletes these autorecovery files, and thus on the next launch no recovery files should be opened.
So if your files are continually opening, then Photoshop is in essence crashing every time you close it (assuming you are trying to close Photoshop each time).
May need to look at doing things like recreating the preference files or running Photoshop in a new user.

Where are the auto recovery files stored for Visio 2010?

I have auto recovery set for every 5 minutes. I have been working on a file that has been saved several times a day. Today when just moving a shape Viso 2010 crashed after I had been working on the file for over 2 hours. Auto recovery popped
up every 5 minutes indicating it was saving the file. After the crash the ony file I could find was the file as it was when I first opened it this AM. None of the work done today was saved.
Did auto recovery completely fail? Where can I look for the auto recovery file?
I have not done a reboot because I am afraid that if the file exits it will be gone for sure if I reboot. Any suggestions are welcome.
There must be a temp file or something that I can look for but not sure what the extension would be or the location.
Hopefully someone here can help.
thanks,
greg

How do I know? You state the the auto-save file extension is .vxd - that's the Visio document XML format.
You can change this in File -> Options -> Save
As for the crashes, are there any messages when a crash occurs?
Check that the video drivers you have are the latest, try a different screen resolution to see if that changes anything and turn off or change any screen accelerators.
-- Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd. http://www.sandrila.co.uk/ Engineering and software shapes for Visio.
My mistake - the file format is .vsd - standard visio format
Here is the info from the event viewer for the specific crash that caused me temporary pain.

How to use auto recovery from word 2011?

Hi
Yesterday I spent the whole day writing up a report for work to the point where I fell asleep last night with the document still opened. This morning I had a little more to do on it and when I tried to press save (like a did all day yesterday) it wouldn't save. I ended up just closing it down without saving because there was no point going on if it wasn't going to save any of my new stuff. So when I tried to open the file again it has reverted back to the document I started and saved over a week ago - MINUS ALL OF MY WORK FROM YESTERDAY!! I've tried finding it in my auto-recovery file but it is empty. What do I do?
These are possible issues that I think may stop me from finding the problem:
1. The document is saved on my USB
2. Microsoft Office wanted to update and I clicked not now as I was in the middle of this report.
Could these things affect my outcome?
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Could you please elaborate?
Is there a file in the Folder "PSAutoRecover" on your scratch disk?

The details of every recovery is dependent on the nature and extent of the failure. This requires analysis by the DBA. That's what we get paid the big bucks for.

Can Auto Recovery be disabled in InDesign CC for PC?

I have InDesign running on a server and its sole purpose to is create previews of ID documents for my Digital Asset Management system. The auto recovery halts previews from being made through the DAM and really slows down my system. Isn't there a way I could disable document recovery entirely, since it's not actually helping me in this case?

I can assure you that it's a legal, licensed copy of the CC! My DAM just picks up activity from our production server and creates thumbnail previews of our ID documents.
Thanks for your input!

How to fix auto recovery crush? Im in deadline. it was my whole day work, pls help..

how to fix auto recovery crush? Im in deadline. it was my whole day work, pls help..

Close ID, find the HIDDEN InDesign Recovery folder (It will be next to InDesign SavedData, and you can find the path to that for your OS at Replace Your Preferences ), and empty it, then restart ID normally, not by double-clicking a file.
If your file was not damaged during the crash, it should open from the File menu at the last saved state. You will lose anything you did to the file since the last save.

Deactivate INDD Auto-Recovery

I don't have any need at all for the auto-recovery feature, really. All it does is cause a delay for me (when the server goes down). I've never used it, never needed it, ever, and I wouldn't trust it to present me with every change I made anyway. I'd rather start over. Please give me a way to turn it off.

I believe that you can set InDesign to run scripts at startup and quitting time. As noted in this article, http://indesignsecrets.com/rebuilding-indesign-preferences.php, the saved data file can be deleted and automatically recreated on startup.
For help on creating the script you'd need and how to implement it, try the InDesign scripting forum.

VPC Auto-recovery Feature

Hi, all
I understood vPC auto-recovery feature as the following but are they correct?
vPC auto-recovery becomes effective command only when vPC role is secondary.
In order to change to secondary state, a pair of vPC devices need synchronize.
Even if one of a pair vPC devices fails boot after a power cut, vPC auto-recovery does not work. The vPC role is "none established" because the vPC device does not synchronize with peer vPC device.
Thank you for your cooperation in advance.

Hi Satoru,
This document explains pretty well how auto-recovery works.

Auto recovery in Excel failing

Hi guys.
My finance team uses many s'sheets encompassing pivot tables, macros, charts etc. Many of these are in the region of 70Mb in size.
The auto recovery process on one of my guy's laptop seems to fail causing the program to freeze and recovery is not possible. Is 70Mb to large? the physical memory and the processor are not being hammered when he launches task manager, the virtual
memory is set as recommended, am I missing something?
Can anyone shed some light on this please?
Many thanks, KR, Nick

From where the transaction is initiated, from BPEL or some other source system.
I would always suggest to keep the transactional control into the end points. Your source should catch the BPEL faults and make a call to middleware again in case if data is critical. OR you can store the faults in some DB or delimited files and you might have some bpel process which will pick up the faulted data from the table or file and retrying the target endpoint until success.

Auto recovery and why is it happening?????

As I am working in excel or word, could be other programs, I notice a quick flash at the bottom of the excel sheet say " auto recovery". It seems to save what I am working on because you can't "undo" what you were working on once it flashes " auto recovery". This is a work computer, so I don't know if the company has a remote connect that they are able to save or copy what I am working on. It is frustrating since I can't "undo" things.
Maybe someone knows what I am talking about.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I'd recommend posting in the MS Office forum.

Auto Recovery Folder

Hi together
I saved by mistake an Excel-File in the folder Auto recovery, I can see the folder when I open new sheet and click save as. I looked already in the folder Microsoft office/office 2011, there is none folder auto recovery. Where is this folder? Is there a chance to find and open the Excel-File?
Thank you very much for your support.
Marceio

This would be best asked on Microsoft's Office forums, don't you think?
That being said, it is found in the Microsoft section of your library's Applications Support folder.
Yours, NOT the system's, mind you.

Auto-Save and Auto-Recovery

I hope the is a differnence between auto-save (as listed in you document properties) and Auto-Recovery (as set in Prefs). I would like some "protection" but I don't want flash saving over my file unless I tell it to save. I got burn last night while "experimenting" and and did a "revert" only to find that flash had saved over my file, what a pain. I went to find the "recovery" file only to not find one anywhere. My search on the net are conflicted with wheather or not these 2 features are the same. In my case both items where checked and both set to 10min (the default). soooo....
Please tell me that Auto-Recovery is different, is that it doesn't save over my file, ie it keeps a real back-up someplace, AND where i can find this "recovery" file. ?
This feature seems strange, why not do a std auto back-up to a user selected number of versions in a user selected location ?
Thanks
Joel

Thanks. After poking around for a while I kinda figured this out. I was just glad to find out I could get some kind of "back-up" function from Auto Recovery, because "Auto Save" is a nightmare. I can't understand where anyone would want to use this feature at all. Anything that saves over what your working on before your ask for the file to be saved is looking for trouble. I found it out the hard way. I had "auto Save" on and after messing around trying a few different things, none of which worked or I liked, I thought I would simply close and re-open the original file only to find "auto save" had saved over my original file. I can't see any place where this feature would be anything but a pitb. If they want a auto save feature it should be saving versions of the original (up to a user specified number of instances) in the seperate folder. Never under any curcumstances should the original file be saved over unless the users presses SAVE. Auto recovery would be more useful if it didn't erase everytime you restarted the app. Flash needs to look at the back-up and versioning systems that AE and PPro use.
It's one of those things that bother you about the whole "suite" concept. Adobe owns all these apps and while some of them do play well together to an extent, for the most part it is still a collection of indiviuals. While there have been some changes to get the "look" of the apps to be close, the actual functioning of the UI in the differnt apps isn't where it needs to be. There needs to be a Suite "czar" that makes all the apps do std UI things the same using the same keys etc. for example AE, PPro, Flash, Photoshop, fireworks, all use different keys to zoom in/out or of your image/stage/comp/viewer/monitor window ie main workspace or to enable the mouse "wheel" for zooming. PPro still refuses to use the spacebar to toggle the hand tool like every other "suite app". anyway. a std system for back-up and versioning is need across the suite.
thanks

Multi-threaded, 64-bit, Auto-Recovery/Auto-Save

Illustrator needs more horsepower. Make it 64-bit and able to use more of the cores that more and more users have these days.
Illustrator now runs much better than some of the older versions, but abrupt crashing sadly still happens. At some of the worst times.
Can we please have an Auto-Recovery (like InDesign... ) or Auto-Save option in the Preferences?
Sometimes 'doing it over again' is just not acceptable.

Hi,
I suggest you to increase the value kernel.shmmax = 8589934592 of this parameter in sysctl.conf to kernel.shmmax = 1288490188
Later if you want to increase the size of SGA then you need to modify the kernel.shmmax = 8589934592 value. In general practice we keep kernel.shmmax value little greater then the value of SGA.
Refer MOS tech note:
*ORA-27102 Database Will Not Start With SHMMAX Set To 8589934592 (8GB) [ID 461519.1]*
*Linux Big SGA, Large Memory, VLM - White Paper [ID 260152.1]*

CS6 opens with Auto Recovery files every launch.

I know where the recovery files are. Finding and deleting them isn't the issue.
My understanding of Auto Recover is that when a working file is saved and closed, the corresponding Auto Recover psb should be trashed automatically.
Every evening I save and close all my work, quit Photoshop and shut down the Mac. Every morning when I start Photoshop, at least one Auto Recovery file opens. It's the last file(s) I was working on the previous evening.
I've toggled Auto Recover on/off, trashed the folder and had CS6 recreate it. Nothing works. Every morning, I am presented with a psb of the previous evening's work.
My scratch disk is a dedicated 100gb SSD. I have triple verified that CS6 is not writing recovery files to a different location.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rob

Is there any problem at/after quitting Photoshop?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

LR4 auto recovery - can it be switched off?

Is there any way to turn off auto-recovery in LR4 2012 process engine? When shooting on white seamless, I gradually bring up the background lights until I see the raw file just blowing out as I want it, at my shooting aperture. With LR4 and auto-recovery - using this method of 'metering' if you like - I'm adding 2-3 extra stops of light than I would expect before this happens, which then gives me wrap around and flare problems. I'd like to take back control of this, so I'm not guessing where my pure white is any more. Thanks.

I know where you're coming from, having shot and processed my own film and print images starting in 1970. I also understand what you're trying to do, but disagree with your approach on two points:
1) Use of the raw processor histogram to determine raw clipping.
2) Expecting the raw processor to understand that you want a specific area to be 100% clipped. Normally this is NOT the case.
For #1: The following link explains how you can set your camera to make its histogram accurately display raw clipping. It's called Universal White Balance (UniWB) and once you've established the proper in-camera settings you can save them to a "custom function" dial setting (C1, etc.). When set properly the camera's preview image will have an ugly green cast, but will correctly indicate highlight clipping. By using a custom function for these settings you can easily switch between normal camera preview mode and UniWB mode.
http://www.guillermoluijk.com/tutorial/uniwb/index_en.htm
You can find camera specific UniWB information by doing a Google search on uniwb + camera model, for example uniwb D800.
For #2: Use the top-down approach for setting PV2012's Basic panel controls with your white clipped images:
1) Exposure: Set for natural looking 'midtones.'
2) Contrast: I find it easier to adjust after making all of the other settings, but rarely use more than ±25.
3) Highlights: Set negative to maximize the highlight detail against the backdrop, such as hair.
4) Shadows: Set positive to the same value as Highlights works well (EX- +20 with -20 Highlights).
5) Whites: This is where you reestablish the backdrop white clipping level that PV2012's autohighlight recovery removed. (Holding the ALT key down lets you see the clipping real-time.)
6) Blacks: Set negative to establish the desired black clipping level (Holding the ALT key down lets you see the clipping real-time.)
7) Clarity: For models a slightly negative -Clarity setting can help to bring out highlights in hair, and nicely softens the image while maintaining detail.
8) Vibrance & Saturation: Don't be afraid to use these together with "opposing" (+-, -+) settings to help correct specific colors that are over or under saturated.
We haven't even touched on the proper Camera Profile for this subject, which affects the overall appearance of the image.
Once you've established the proper Basic panel settings for a particular lighting setup, I suggest saving it as a Develop preset with all of the Basic panel settings and any other settings you made that deviate from your LR Develop default settings. You can then easily apply the Develop preset to images from a previous or future assignment.
