Recovery date/time 1

[ctopher]

I noticed today after a crash, the recovery times on some files look a bit screwy.
Attached is a screenshot.
Some files are ok, others are weird.
The latest example shows a time "2:4".
It was missing the last digit.
Has anyone experienced this?

Autorecover has never worked for me in the history of SolidWorkery. Not surprising it has a few bugs.

I turn off autosave and save reminders cuz for me they are more trouble than they are worth. I've had issues with recovery as well in the past.

I'm with Matt, I've never had autorecover the document I was working on, and it seems that the save reminders just destabilize the software. Do yourself a favor and turn them off and learn to save frequently.

I don't know why I have them on. Never actually recover files, no need to.
This was a fluke bug I came across.
I always save as I work. Everything is checked into PDMW.
This crash happened during the PDMW check in process. I think I lost connection during check in, thus why it crashed. Never really paid much attention to the recovery files until yesterday a glanced at them and noticed the time.
Will send to SW for bug fix.

Auto recover is good in case you screw a model up and want to get the copy that was perfect after your second copy. If you've ever had trouble in any CAD system you learn to save before and after doing a complicated operation. For my case I point the backup and auto recover to a folder "_" at top of my local directory and auto recover almost never works it's similar or less exact as Microsoft's usual oh we saved 1% of your modified file BS. The Backup (1) (2) of Filename.sld??? are actual saves and have been useful a lot more than the recover files. If you know where the files are you can just ignore the prompts about recover all or recover
none when starting SolidWorks.

Another thing that bugs me is when you hit the save icon on the reminder and it forgets that it just saved the file. How can that not work properly???
