Hi Ales, I have just commited some changes to CVS so libgeda checks if there is an autosave backup file when loading a new file. If it exists, then it calls an app-dependant function to ask the user what to do.

I'm okay with that > for the all the programs. If the app-dependant function is NULL, libgeda will output a warning and continue loading the original file. The only changes to other apps are only setting that function to NULL. I have added a new function to gschem, which opens a message dialog asking the user wether to load the backup file or not. It's the only app asking the user. As usual, testing is welcome!. Please report any comment. Cheers, Carlos
