Question

File recovery failure caused by "not enought room for the window".

Hello there, recently I had quite peculiar situation:

After illustrator crashed (as it happens) I re-opened programm and was hoping for auto recovery to salvage some of my work.
It tried to, but illustrator itself didn't want to open these files because "not enought room for the window".

Program window was really small like here: Illustrator CS6 - opens in window too small and one after another recovered file was discarded, telling me to "resize and open again". As you can guess, reopening Ai again didn't bring these recovered files.

Now here is the question: how can I open these lost files? Are these lost for good? Is this LOSS? In directory of my recovered files there are only .aid files, can I do anything with these?

Much love to you all ❤️

when AI opens and gives the message AI workspace really small in size?

if it is drag the AI workspace from the corner and make it as large as you can.

then r-click the file and try to open it.
