I was working on an Affinity Designer (Mac OSx Yosemite )document for three hours without saving (yes I know!) when AD crashed. So I reopened the working document. I don't remember seeing an option to recover an autosaved file but is possible that it was there and that I missed it. Anyway the resulting opened document is the last saved version of three hours earlier. I haven't closed AD yet because as I understand I will loose the autosaved file.
 
Following answers in this forum I looked for the autosaved files in:
 
~/Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinitydesigner.beta/Data/Library/Application Support/autosave
 
There I found two ".autosave" files. Opening the first it told me that it couldn't open it because the file was already open. So I closed the opened AD document and went back to the autosave folder to find only one ".autosave" file. When trying to open it an AD message window tells me:
 
"The file is a linked file, but the parent file could not be found."
 
According to Finder the autosave file is there in the autosave folder with 323.7mb but according to AD it is just a link. Is there a way to get to the actual file? 
 
I would appreciate any help.  Thanks

Hi all,
 
It's been a while (don't ask) but I'd thought I'd update this list. There are now 18 tutorials on the channel, more to come. Created to enhance your skills and knowledge of Affinity Photo & Designer and take them to the next level. Don't forget to subscribe to stay up to date.These were created before the 1.5 Beta but you'll still benefit from them. If you would like to see anything in particular just leave a comment below.
 
They are all FREE and always will be, why? Because 1. The apps are so awesome and changed the way I work  2. There is such a great community on here and 3. Matt P is really cool  ;)  (thank you).
