Post Crash pop-up info-box displays for 1/4 second and disappears.

Affinity Designer crashed. Upon restarting I chose the recovery file, and when it opened there was a pop-up information box that said something about a "linked file" but it was displayed for only a fraction of a second, so I don't now what it said.

I would expect the information to remain displayed until dismissed by the user. 

Is there a way to access this information somewhere else. How do I know what to do when I didn't have time to read the information? This happens after most crashes, perhaps all of them;  I might not have seen the fleeting info box.

Was it this notification?

 Thanks Mike, but I don't think it was this. I don't remember seeing a blue icon or a 'close' button.

You could Save the file, and Open it again. Perhaps you'll get the message and will be able to read it.

Or you could try the Resource Manager. If the message was saying that some external resource was modified you'll be able to see that in the Resource Manager.

Thank you Walt. A good suggestion. Reopening the file did not produce the message again. But I did find some unlinked files in the Resource Manager, so perhaps the message was about them. I'll never know now.
