File Recovery Method
Good Day,
Is there some trick to opening a recovery a file?
I tried holding shift while opening, just opens to blank project
"FOR EVER AND EVER NEW GUITAR V5 ECHO (Recover 17-06-29-11-22-51-462)" 699 KB
Cheers

It kind of resembles a file version created by SONAR except I would expect to see the file at the OS level look like "FOR EVER AND EVER NEW GUITAR V5 ECHO.cwp.~2017-06-29-11-22-51-462" To open a file created by versioning, open the regular project file then use File > Revert to see the versions available for the file. For more info see https://www.cakewalk.com/...help=Recording.38.html If there is no regular cwp to open or the regular cwp will not open, the version may be renamed at the OS level by dropping the version info in the file name. For example change "FOR EVER AND EVER NEW GUITAR V5 ECHO.cwp.~2017-06-29-11-22-51-462" to "FOR EVER AND EVER NEW GUITAR V5 ECHO.cwp" and SONAR will open the file as a regular project.

Thanks, yea I dont have versioning enabled, file had been saved before, added some midi recording and did some editing and forgot to save (usually I turn autosave off when recording). Sonar crashed, messaged attempting to save recovery file, created that file name. Message when trying to open directly, says file truncated. I tried renaming as you mentioned no luck. Argggg., well theres a few hours of music and my life I won't get back. LOL, a few lessons learnt, I got spoiled hadnt crashed for so long. Thanks for trying, appreciate your time. Cheers

In that case, I thought opening the original cwp would automatically provide an option to recover the file. I have not experienced a crash generating a recovery file in some time.

Yea, thanks, some times it creates file named as you mentioned, which normally do recover, sometimes like these ones, which I could never get to recover, I saw another tip in related list which may have worked, if I had read it yesterday LOL.
