Illustrator decided to completely freeze and annoy me with the spinning ball of death. Sooo, is there a temp file that I could recover while Illustrator is still open?

I don't think so. Would love to hear otherwise though — I have a dodgy computer at the moment, often crashing and losing my file amends.
Primarily an Illustrator user, I'm always a bit befuddled when I open up Photoshop and there's some long-cached recovery file it suggests I might be interested in.

nearly every Adobe app has crash recovery, except fucking Illustrator.

I'm pretty sure it has some .tmp folder - I remember recovering a file not too long ago this way.

I devise a way to transfer illustrator material from one file to another using textedit, but it was only for when the file was corrupted not when it crashed,
if you want to know I can show it to you, but I don't think it's what you're looking for

Not a proper solution but sometimes if you open Bridge it saves the file preview that you were latest working on, so you to recreate the assets from there... worth checking in there what the latest grab looks like. But, not a real solution and the Adobe mafia should sort their shit out, especially considering the price we pay for the software.
