Is there a way of recovering lost work? Does kyma keep temporary files anywhere?

When kyma quits it usually asks me a chain of "would you like to save..." questions. First for stuff I'm working on, then for all the prototypes I've looked at. So I've got used to clicking "yes", then "no..no..no".

Today I got it wrong and clicked "no" too early and lost a sound I'd been working on for some time. :(

Does kyma store any temporary versions of the sound that would help me recover my lost work?

(Also it would be nice if there was an option to turn off the prompting to save for prototypes that I've opened, then I would always be saying "yes" to saving when I shut down kyma.)

I'm sure you are across this but FWIW, I learnt through painful experience with other apps that allow you to have many different files open, that the best way to exit an application is deliberately saving (if/as appropriate) and then closing each open file manually until nothing is left open, THEN quit the application. Doing so takes more time but it means you are reviewing and thinking about each open file as you close it rather than leaving it to the chance of a possible memory lapse causing lost work.
