Ok, so I know that OpenSCAD creates a backup file before any renders in case
it goes stupid, but I turned off my console, so I don't know where the
backup file is or what it is called.

Help!

It should be in your Documents folder:

• Windows: My Documents\OpenSCAD\backups
• Linux: $HOME/.local/share/OpenSCAD/backups
• Mac OS X: $HOME/Documents/OpenSCAD/backups

Sorry Marius,

I panicked and didn't read the directories you posted.  I thought that it
was part of your sig. :/ -_-

The backup feature just saved my rear this morning.  Thank you for adding
this feature.

I made a copy/paste error that put a call to a module inside its own module;
this was not intended to be a recursive function and had no way of escape...

OpenSCAD gave "Recursion detected" a few times and locked up hard.... and I
am sitting in front of an hour's code that I have been tinkering with and
forgot to save....

Backups FTW!
