I usually use JOSM on my laptop but I was using it on my desktop and after a lot of edits it asked for my authorization. Now it won't authorize and I can't get the window to close. I really don't want to lose a couple hours of work.

Any ideas? Is my work backed up? alt text

meta: I noticed you had deleted your question while I was typing my answer. Any reason or was it just "solved"? I have undeleted temporarily.

Yes, I deleted it when I figured it out. Sorry.

okay, thanks. Let's keep it - maybe someone else has the same question in future.

On the freezing bit, is this related to https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/13042#ticket ?

Yes, seems related

Yes, there should be - see https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/Action/AutoSave#Preferences . Check (and maybe make a copy of the "autosave" folder before restarting JOSM). However, I could not yet find this autosave in my JOSM preferences folder. And I did never need the auto-recovery, too. I just tested it: there is a timestamped .osm file in ~/.josm/autosave/ (Linux) as expected.

I checked there and it looked backed up, so that reassured me. Thank you very much.
