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 desktop and EVERY track is removed from save file. Reverting to auto save reveals that the tracks are not there either. Multiple autosave is a good idea I think but there is also a logical error in the way that autosaves are made if the above behaviour is present.

What, he couldn’t type Ctrl-S (or Cmd-S on a Mac) every few traces or so? I have zero sympathy for that person. There, I said it. -a _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
