Using Windows 10 and Maya 2023.3
I regularly save Maya with CTRL+s while working, and see the save succeeds because the
"modified" asterisk at the top of the file disappears. If Maya crashes, when I reopen the file, it will be in the same state as when the file was first opened during the session, ignoring all the saves in between.
This is for crashes where Maya does not create a recovery file, and in any case the behavior of the recovery system is not the issue, things would be OK if Maya respected the saves done along the way. It behaves as if it either: A) overwrites my file with the state of when I started the Maya session, or B) doesn't fully commit any saves until/unless Maya closes cleanly.
I'm currently using a workaround with incremental saves as backups (and autosaves in another folder), but I typically think I need to save twice to be confident my work in the most recent file (my_scene.ma), once for the actual work done and again to get it into the last incremental file (my_scene.000n.ma), since I am starting to believe Maya will overwrite my_scene.ma if/when it crashes.
