As a rule I don't use 'File > Open …' or 'File > Open Recent' as I always have my file manager (Explorer on Windows) open at the folder containing my working svg images. This is simply because there are sometimes, out of necessity, different svg images with very similar names in my projects.

Point being yes, I almost exclusively run separate processes (Windows likes to make processes unresponsive) meaning I can easily have more than five svg images open at one time.

"It would be nice to have the files named after the originals if they had been saved and titled but I don't think that one is as crucial."

Because of the way I work as mentioned above, it is actually crucial to me to have the filenames appended, as I often open the wrong autosave file if I have to identify it from five (per example) possibilities. When I have deadlines, this could potentially be detrimental to my income, as payment would get cut if I deliver late.
