Scene Recovery and Temporary Cleanup
Restore or discard an eligible unsaved scene after interruption and understand which stale temporary artifacts Filmstrip may clean at startup.
Filmstrip stores editor scene-recovery snapshots in the project’s user-local writable area. Recovery is designed for ordinary interrupted work, not as a second authored scene format.
Recovery behavior
- Eligible unsaved scene state is captured outside the project source tree.
- A later editor start can offer Restore or Discard.
- Recovery is invalidated when the authored source scene changed after the snapshot was captured.
- A restored scene remains an in-memory dirty edit until normal Save succeeds.
- Discard removes the recovery candidate without modifying the authored scene.
Startup temporary cleanup
At startup, Filmstrip removes only recognized stale temporary artifacts in user-local writable roots. Fresh files and unrelated scratch data are not swept by a broad directory cleanup.
Project source remains authoritative
Recovery and temporary files do not become authored project assets and are not included in packaging or clean source exports.
