What version are you using?

Do you have auto-backup set? Menu : Application Preferences > Defaults > Program Defaults

Could you find the entry in recent files? Menu: File > Recent Files

If LibreCAD didn't warn you about closing the file, the file saving was likely successful, meaning your drawing exists somewhere in your file system.

User data loss is the worst type issues,

for the newest development, I suggestion we should do:

1, make auto-backup the default. User can still turn it off, but the user setting is not remembered, so user actually needs to turn it off each session;
2, If auto-backup fails, warning messages should be shown as command messages;
3, If file saving fails, attempt to save a copy in standard locations, e.g., user-document folder.

Anyone ever found a way to fix this? It's really frustrating I had been working on a file for days and been saving now and then just to find that the only data that was saved was 2 days ago and even the temporary files are not up to date😳
What makes these files not updating because when you are trying to close unsaved file it warns but I clicked on save and closed as I normally do but when I opened the file again found the file with old data only. Reviewed the file it shows last updated some 2 days ago date.
