My JXBrowser keeps crashing in my Designer sessions and I’ve lost work a few times now because I have to restart the Designer to get it back. I’m wondering if the locally edited resources are stored in the local filesystem somewhere that I can access? I can’t find anything obvious in the `c:\users\me\.ignition` folder so I’m guessing it’s all held in memory 😕  
Thought I’d ask anyway

Pretty much no. JxBrowser itself might have some temp storage(s), but for Perspective, the Swing part of the designer basically relies on JxBrowser being there (and responding promptly) to determine what to save.
