Re: I saved a project but i cant find it

Try searching your computer for the file. Go to the start menu, look for the item that says "search" (on a mac, click on the magnifying glass at the top of the screen) and search for the name you saved it as. If it's anywhere on your computer, you'll see it there.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

And if you don't find it that way, search .sb and it'll find all the Scratch projects on your computer. It's also possible that it got deleted somehow.

Had you given your remix a new name? If not, check the original project you were remixing: maybe you saved your changes there.   smile

On Windows, Control F in a documents window
On search put all files and folders
Then specify dates to today and today
It will then show you every file that was modifyed today

Re: I saved a project but i cant find it

That happened to me too, and I absolutely couldnt find it, even with a complete computer search! I jad an 'error' warning bc of it. File too big? Make 2 copies of important copies and u cant lose them!

Re: I saved a project but i cant find it

i figured it out! my remixed projects go into some weird "secret" folder. I decided that when i save my projects, i should save to scratch projects before i close the window  roll
