Recovery mode for Inkscape

a) Please use 'Autosave' to minimize losses when your computer crashes: a system crash doesn't allow to create an emergency save file in Inkscape (unlike when Inkscape itself crashes). Autosave in Inkscape exists since version 0.47:
<http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.47#Autosave>

b) The request to automatically recover the last version from 'Autosave' after a system crash, as well as adding an interface to recover emergency saved files (after Inkscape had crashed) have been filed already and are tracked here:

Recover from auto-saved files:
Bug #171424 “crash recovery”
Bug #492606 “Automatic Autosave Recovery” (duplicate)
Recover from emergency-saved files:
Bug #513185 “Check for emergency saved files on startup”

Proposing to link as duplicate to Bug #171424 - unless I misunderstood your feature request, you want to recover a recent auto-saved version after a system crash, not after an Inkscape crash.

Ok thank you very much for your quick and complete answer! Have a nice day! :)
