So I was using Texstudio to write an article and the computer just froze. I had to restart the computer, my 2 hour work was gone. I was stupid enough to not save it at all…
Does anyone know if Texstudio auto saves your document like MS word? Is there a way that I can recover it? (I built it countless times when I was writing the article.)
I'm afraid I can't exactly diagnose your problem , but you can create your own .cwl file. Hopefully this is an acceptable alternative.
Reference: http://texstudio.sourceforge.net/manual/current/usermanual_en.html#CWLDESCRIPTION
1) The first step is to find the directory where the .cwl files are stored.
If you're on Windows, the custom .cwl files are stored in .\AppData\Roaming\TeXstudio\completion\user directory. If in doubt, go to Help->Check LaTeX installation from within TeXstudio and search for Setting file. The directory should be printed out for you.
2) Go to Notepad or any other text editor (TeXstudio works too!). The command syntax for the .cwl file is as follows:
<command>[#classification]
For a list of classification styles and what they do, refer to the link above, section 4.13.3. For now, try adding just one line to the text file:
\ThisIsMyCommand#n
and save it with a file name of your choice. As far as I know, this doesn't have to coincide with your .sty name, so let's choose randomcwl.cwl as a file name. Ensure that it is .cwl file.
3) Go ahead and place this file into your .cwl directory from Step 1.
4) Now, if you go to Configure TeXstudio -> Completion, You'll find the random.cwl choice has popped up. Check the box.
5) And test it out!
The last two who had this error had a problem with a virus program kicking in (Avast in both cases).

TeXstudio does not save any temporary copies of your file.
There is an option
Advanced Editor -> Special Options -> Auto Save All Files. When activated, this callsFile -> Save All` in regular intervals. However, this function is deactivated by default, because it saves and thus overwrites your original file. Since a user should be aware of this behavior and its consequences, it is not activated by default.
