I have personally had multiple occasions where a KiCad application crash
has corrupted the save file AND the autosave. Perhaps the above user was
unwise but that doesn't justify not fixing this problem.
My experience - whilst saving regularly: Editing a track on a largish
board, KiCad crashes to

To throw it out there.
To me a proper UI should not immediately popup but rather an very big
banner of some sort saving "FILES AVAILABLE TO BE RECOVERED" above the
workspace. Clicking on the banner opens the recovery window. It
doesn't have to be an banner, just something obvious and distinct.

What, he couldn’t type Ctrl-S (or Cmd-S on a Mac)
Hello, Chris!
Thank you for considering crashes + loss of data/autosaves as *very* *serious*
issue!
Crashes with data-loss and "no idea what I changed exactly since the last
manual or autosave" happens to me in Mr P**S way too often and this is the
*main* reason to migrate to KiCad being
Some other program simply uses multiple autosaves. Although this is not
the smartest solution it is relative effective and allow for some
retracing the steps as well.

It probably wouldn't be too bad, if each file was timestamped, and
then deleted if/when kicad exits cleanly, therefore unless one has a
very crashy kicad there should be very few autosaves and very few
needed. If you exit kicad cleanly and then want the autosave well
thats user fault.

I'm talking to someone on IRC right now who lost two hours of routing
because pcbnew crashed, then deleted his autosave file before he could
make use of it. We need to put some new efforts into:
1. Never delete autosave data. He may have accidentally saved the board
before loading the autosave,
