switching to the CORRECT backup file
As I know other people have noticed, when ADOM crashes, at least some of the time the backed-up file that is converted into a .svg file is not the most recent, it's the one created after ADOM was last open. I have a character past the Earth Temple, ADOM crashed, and the restore is from the Casino level. So...I would like careful advice on how to fix this.

I'm nearly 100% certain that what I want to do is have the .au5 from 4:38 PM converted from a backup file to an .svg file. But I can't simply make that file-name change (there's already an evayne.svg in the folder).
Last time I tried to manually fix this, whatever 'clever' approach I came up with (renaming the character in the restored file, I think, and then trying to re-name the correct backup file, and then deleting the spare files?) effectively worked as "Dan deleted his own character", so I definitely don't want to do that again.
What's the *correct* way to use the most-recent restore, rather than the when-I-started-playing-today restore?
Thanks!

First you should back up all of your files to a different location. This process has always worked for me:
Delete Evayne.svg
Duplicate Evayne.au5
Rename duplicate to Evayne.svg

That worked just perfectly, thank you (level 35 on UL 4 instead of level 25 on Casino, AND I don't have to feel like an idiot for deleting my own file). Thank you for the speedy instruction!
