Probably not. I've had this happen -- with other
app.s -- every once in a while, and it's a PITA for
sure. But a lot of app.s have an AutoSave feature.
My circa-very-early-'90s DOS word processor has it. I
must admit that I almost never turn it on, though, as
its functioning provides a brief but noticeable pause
and distraction. So, that choice is all on me.
However, certain types of crashes or mishaps with that
program (quite rare) are likely to throw off some sort
of temp file with an obvious gibberish name, and this
has been a semi-salvation in some cases.
