Recovering Back-Ups

After experiencing a system or power failure, you are likely to want to recover the back-up files created by Nuke’s autosave function.

To Recover Back-Ups

1.   Relaunch Nuke.

A dialog opens that asks you if you want to recover the autosave file.

2.   Click OK.

Nuke opens the back-up file for your use.

There may be times when you don’t want to load the autosave file and rather need to load the last saved version. For example, consider a situation where you modified a script, but decided not to commit the changes and so exited Nuke without saving. In all likelihood Nuke autosaved some or all of your changes, in which case if you open the autosaved file you are not working on the original script, as intended. If you accidentally open an autosaved script, then simply close it and reload the last saved version.

NOTE:  Breakpad crash reporting allows you to submit crash dumps to The Foundry in the unlikely event of a crash.

By default, crash reporting is enabled in GUI mode and disabled in terminal mode. You can toggle reporting on and off using the --crashhandling 1 or 0 option on the command line or by setting the environment variable NUKE_CRASH_HANDLING to 1 or 0.

When crash handling is enabled in GUI mode, you can control whether reports are automatically submitted or not using the --nocrashprompt command line option or by setting the environment variable NO_CRASH_PROMPT to 0.

Crashes in terminal mode are automatically submitted when crash handling is enabled.
