Unless a file is opened in Direct or Read-Only modes, a temporary file is created and any edits made are stored in this file. When an improper termination of the program occurs, these temporary files remain on your hard drive and can be reopened to recover any work done to the sound files before crashing. Also, the original sound files will remain unchanged until you save your work. <\/p>\n<p>Crash Recovery<\/p>\n<p>When restarting Sound Forge, any temporary files in your temporary file directory will indicate to the program that something went wrong. Sound Forge prompts you with the Crash Recovery dialog to recover, delete, or ignore these files.<\/p>\n<p>Recover<\/p>\n<p>Use this to change the ending of all file names from FORGExxx.TMP to FORGExxx.WAV. You can then open these WAV files using the Open dialog (File menu).
