Bug Description

This is actually a feature request.

After a crash can inkscape scan the autosave directory on startup and show me a list of autosaves to choose from like MS Word does?

i'm using v 0.48 on win7

I realize that the autosave feature has been added but what i am suggesting is that once Inkscape DETECTS that it is recovering from a crash therefore check the auto save directory and show a list of autosaves for the user to choose from instead of the user having to:-
check where the autosave directory is located
open the directory.

Another alternative might be to show autosaves which are versions of the opened document only. similar to what wordpress does when it creates autosaves for its posts. eg:

"there is an autosave of this file available.click here to view"
