Maya crashes... How do I find the file .ma ? 4 Months, 1 Week ago Karma: 2  
Hello guys

When Maya crashes it save a temp project file somewhere. I am using a Mac (Snow Leopard) and I am trying to find out where the files get saved to in the event of a crash.

someone know where is this file?

A list Autodesk Maya saves the crash files in

/var/folders/ and inside another folder with 2 letters (example EE or ZZ)

You'll have to CD into them and find the file.

An easy way to find out the correct folder is to look at the system log:

/var/log/system.log and search for the last 4 lines, you can locate it because there are the dates on every line, you'll see an entry around the time of the crash and that has the file path in it!
example:
Oct 18 14:28:52 MP [0x0-0x41041].com.autodesk.Maya.2012[518]: Fatal Error. Attempting to save in /var/folders/ee/eeuVsZxHEwexlHb0dBh5AU+++TI/-Tmp-/xxxxxxxxxxx.20111018.1428.ma

I hope this can help you.
