[TxMt] Re: Textmate froze, and emptied out my file...

[Phillip Salfity]

Tom,

Thanks for the suggestions. I've already checked trash, hidden files,
clip board, etc nothing... and I do have autosave turned on, it froze
as I was saving manually. then the application quit, and when I open
the application again the file was empty. It shows that the last edit
was at the time of the freeze- its like as if textmate saved an empty
file over it. If I could get the previous verision that I saved about
10 minutes before hand I would be all set.

Unfortunately I don't have time machine setup... grrrr
