Sublime Text 2 / Sublime Text 3 bring back unsaved files on osx

macos, sublimetext, sublimetext2, sublimetext3

Solution

Sublime Text 2 stores the files in `~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Settings`, in the `.sublime_session` files that are located there.

The contents of those files are a large JSON blob that contains the individual tab contents. Search in the file for the file name / tab name / a key word in the document and you should be able to get what you need.

For Sublime Text 3, use the following path:

~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Local/Session.sublime_session

Problem

In sublime I know even if you don't save the changes in a file later one you can start from where you left off. I opened a new tab in sublime and closed the application before I save my file. Does sublime save a temp file somewhere in the computer (I am using MAC OSx)
