My first experience with blender was my project being deleted because i forgot to save, my computer crashed and the folder where autosaves are in resets when you turn off the computer
What? That might be the most obviously retarded programming decision I've ever heard of.
Not deleting system temp files would probably become worse very quickly. Especially if they are big enough to fill up substantial amounts of space. Configuribg proper autosaving is the correct way.
I’m not sure what you’re arguing for here. Does Blender default to /tmp for auto save or did the user set it? If it’s default, that’s a dumb default
It defaulted to the tmp folder
It was my first time using blender so i didnt change any defaults
im surprised autosave worked at all
in all the time i used blender, it never once worked, neither on windows nor linux
