Save As deletes your tabs?
I haven't used processing in a while, just started a new project; consisted of main tab and another tab with a class in it.
Something very unusual just happened.. I clicked Save As (without clicking save first (something I'll never do again)), and it proceeded to close my project and open a new one, with the new save as name, but my tab with the class I had been working on was gone.. Is this normal? I just lost an annoying amount of code :(

I just saw that my tab (grid.pde) was saved in the new directory (or its a backup) as a tmp file with name grid.pde225540804267835125.tmp
IDK, never happened to me.
I made a new tab since, and now when I click save as, the new tab is fine but the old one is turning to a strange .tmp file. Not really affecting me anymore, minor bug or just issue with dropbox.

If you ever lose some work again, Processing will compile your stuff to a folder in
%appdata%\..\Local\Temp(on Windows). Everything will be in a .java file instead of the original .pde files and will be Java instead of Processing but will functionally be the same code.@nnenov
What OS and Processing version?
I tried Processing 3.0.1 and linux... no issues with **save as...*

thank you all for your help, it looks like it was a one off glitch. My OS is Windows 7 64 bit, Processing version 3.23
@GoToLoop is suggesting that a file syncing service such as DropBox, GoogleDrive, etc. might have caused the problem (IF you are editing sketches in a n area that a file sharing service actively syncs). Just be aware that if it was a one-off glitch and that was the cause then the glitch may happen again....
Yes this makes sense, my sketches folder is on dropbox.
