You could try sorting your files by modification date to see if you overwrote some other file by accident.

Hi Kevin. I guess I was upset when I made that first post because it didn't come across too effectively. I have two copies of the file but was only working on one. For three or four hours I worked on it making maybe fifty full saves. Then I opened a blank file, deleted what was there and posted my stuff (screenshot).
That's when the Preview error screen came up. I clicked on it to close it but it wouldn't close. I clicked some other things but the whole screen was froze and about twenty seconds later Sigil crashed. Then I got the window asking me if I wanted to relaunch, which I chose. But then I got another window saying the file I'd been working on couldn't be found. (And that's actually kind of a mystery right there.)
And I checked the only other copy of the file and, as expected, the great majority of it was missing.

I was not saving at the time but this must be what happened somehow. At least that's my guess.
After that, I kept working on Sigil with the same file until just now and everything worked perfectly. I of course saved to the copy this time as well.
