Wow .. i did not know about the docs/gale folder either and the fact it backed up everything. Im sure this is in the docs somewhere but nice find anyway surt, thats some good piece of mind there.
I just wish gale would keep the native/editor file .gal after exporting png or other formats. I have lost a lot of work by forgetting to save progress as .gal after exporting pngs for a while. Sort of like what ps dose ,if you have an open psd and save it out as some other format, hitting the "save" after that will save the psd not the last exported format.
Anyway , cheers for the heads up on this, i found a bunch of things i "thought" i had lost.
Might be worth noting to folks who have not updated gale in a while that it has gone 100% freeware a few weeks ago, so you can now import and export gifs/vid to your hearts content
