However, that doesn't apparently save to the data file. I was working
on my books last night, but the computer restarted due to an update
and the master file was not saved. So now I have the master file
time-stamped at 7 am yesterday morning, and about 25 xml text files
from the automatic saves as I worked. How do I roll those into the
master file and update it without having to re-create the complex
invoice I was working on?
Not a specific gnucash problem though how to recover from it is a
gnucash problem.
Horses and barn doors. Any/all of your applications are at risk from
this sort of thing if you allow automatic updates to start regardless
of what you are doing at the time. You should have some settings that
change that. Instead of immediately running, have the computer notify
you that it wants to run an update. That will give you a chance to
close all running applications before you tell the update to run.

Yes, and do periodic saves especially when doing a bunch things in a
row. Pick your "save points" with care and don't get too far behind.
Now, nobody has mentioned the "File" "Replay GnuCash Log" option. So
find the most recent save point and then follow the prompt to apply the
logs. And save as you go along in case something goes haywire!
