Hokusai Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I have a file I was working on and when Affinity Designer crashed, I restarted my computer and opened the file but it hadn't been saved since I had saved it the first time. I was working on the file for almost an hour so it should have autosaved at some point but it didn't. Am I missing something here? My autosave settings are the default settings.

Hokusai Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Sorry, I also wanted to know if Affinity creates a saved file somewhere else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctic Gorilla Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Hi Hokusai, When this has happened to me there was a dialog box that appeared when i relaunched AD asking if I wanted to open the auto saved file I was working on. I'm assuming you saw no such box? Quote OS X Yosemite on a 2014 15" MacBook Pro Retina 2.2 GHz i7 16GB Intel Iris Pro 1536MB Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark.

Hokusai Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Arctic Gorilla, No, I never saw any dialog box about autosave. I wish I had though! Does anyone have a guess as to why autosave didn't work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 12, 2015 Staff Share Posted January 12, 2015 That's weird. It should have asked if you wanted to re-open the file you were working on automatically, as @Arctic Gorilla pointed out. I'm not aware of any other place where Affinity may have saved the file, but i may be wrong here. Hopefully one of the devs will take a look at this thread tomorrow and will give you a definite answer.

Hokusai Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 MEB, Thanks for looking into it. I thought it was odd as when I restarted Affinity, but I wasn't sure how the autosave feature works (does it overwrite the current file or does it save a separate file someplace else?). It might be related to the crash that I experience while using Affinity (the beta not the app store version). I posted about it in the "Bugs" forum. Let me know if you have any insights. Thanks!

Staff MEB Posted January 12, 2015 Staff Share Posted January 12, 2015 Just for reference i'm linking the thread reporting the bug /crash you mentioned. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokusai Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Thanks MEB, I'm guessing that thew two issues are linked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rileyadamvoth Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hey was it ever answered whether or not autosaves are stored somewhere? I'd love to be able to access an old autosave since I just had the program freeze up and I had to Force Quit. Then I restarted and thought I had a recent save, told the autosave not to load, and then realized I didn't have a recent save on my drive. Stupid... I know. But, it'd be awesome to find that the program had autosaves logged somewhere that I could still go find. Essentially, go back in time and say, "Yes, please load the autosave."
