The answer that worked for me is that as I rebooted, I remembered that even though I had never saved my sketch, Processing itself probably had saved a copy of the Java file it generated in a directory:
C:UsersMY-WINDOWS-USER-ACCOUNTAppDataLocalTempsketch_nnnnnnnnnnnnnnntemp
where 'MY-WINDOWS-USER-ACCOUNT' is the name of your Windows user account
'nnn..' is the temporary file name that Processing generates for the blank sketch that is loaded into the IDE on startup.
Sure enough, there was a java source file in the most recently created of the temporary sketch directories. In this case it had evidently been saved right after my last coding change so I was able to recover 100% of my work.
While I've been using Processing for years this is the first time I ever had to resort to this method as a way of recovering a 'lost' sketch.

look in your tmp folders. (run the command echo %TEMP%)
i have LOTS of folders in mine called something like untitled945305933498812359sketches which contains a folder called sketch_160316a which contains my pde.
the folders might be differently named if you're running a named sketch
Hi Koogs, Thanks. I know that. Unfortunately the forum software does not allow me to flag the answer I posted as having answered my question.

- Type in
%TEMP%
at the Windows Explorer's address bar. - That's where lotsa 'sketch_' temporary folders are.
- Alternatively, w/ an empty sketch, hit CTRL+K and go up 2 folders to reach 'Temp/'.
- Look for '.java' or '.pde' files among them.
- In order to help out find most recent 'sketch_' folders, use 'Sort by -> Date modified'.
- Remember that right after 'sketch_' name comes its date like this: 'sketch_160419'.
16
is the year,04
is the month and19
is the day.- As last resource, use some recovery utility like Recuva. Good luck! [-O<

Hi GTL, I actually like your answer better than mine as the %TEMP% variable offers a more generic path to where these files are written.
I also neglected to mention to look for the .java file extension (a bad assumption on my part that folks would know to look for that rather than .pde).
Thanks for providing a more useful - and usable - answer.

Thx! Just an addendum related to Python Mode:
That mode doesn't seem to keep any '.pyde' nor '.java' around anywhere.
Therefore, always save a sketch when using that mode! :-SS - edited September 2016
For those attempting to recover an unsaved sketch on a Mac, you will probably find it in a sub-sub-folder of
/private/var/folders/
. You can find which one by opening a new, unsaved sketch and having it print its sketchPath before being saved:Which will output something like:
To access this folder, open a new Mac Terminal window and navigate to the folder, then use 'open' to pop open a Finder window.
You can now navigate back up out of the subfolder in finder to find other temporary sketches. The contents of your unsaved PDE will be in a .java file. Note that the file contents is not identical to the sketch window text -- for example, it contains many extra included libraries at the top, and a specially created
settings()
andmain()
at the bottom, etc. But the code is there.For posterity, recovering sketches has been discussed in previous forums ( beta, one ) -- but some of the advice no longer applies.
P.S. as to what GoToLoop says above about Python Mode, I can confirm this in Processing 3.2.1 on OS X 10.10.5..
Python Mode does create a temporary pyde file, which you can locate with
sketchPath()
, but it is 0KB. This is the same as for the temporary .pde files in Java mode -- they are also 0KB. However, Java mode also creates a temporary .java file each time the sketch is run. There is no equivalent temp file that I could find in Python mode.
