My only beef with your plugin is it cannot account for commands
which do not log. There’s a good probability the scene your
plugin generates is not an accurate representation of what last
state of the scene actually was before it crashed. Animation
edits, for example, do not log at all. Custom tools flagged to
not log, or tools called from self installing commands do not log
either.
Back in good ol’ days of XSI v6.x when we were treading water to
get anything to function in XSI without exploding, I desperately
tried to salvage crashed scenes using a similar technique, but
because many commands were not logged it was not possible to
salvage work or even rebuild it enough to send to Softimage to
diagnose the cause of the crash to get it fixed. Critical missing
steps caused the rebuild script to error out, or if it was lucky
enough to get to the end without error, the end result was not at
all like what it should’ve been.

I've said this before, but the script log comes really really
close to implementing "journalling" which is the thing that made
filesystems more robust in the 2000's. the binary dump emergency
save thing is really kind of a silly way to attack the problem of
replaying a journal of operations. If Autodesk realized this,
they'd prioritize the completeness of command logging and build a
simple toolset for replaying the unsaved operation journal.
I sent my "repeatHistory" plugin to the beta list a while ago and
got crickets. Maybe I'll try again...
All it does is parse the script log for the last open or save
operation and them exec the remainder. It would work even better
with an event that sets the script log path on scene open/save.

Got issue with the auto-recover lately, but the scene was actualy
properly saved before crashing. just needed to load it manually.
