Not really a good idea, what if it crashes again when loading the possibly damaged recovery file?

Here is how Audacity does it. If it crashed, the next time it starts it lists projects it can try to recovery, and you can choose what to do with them: recovery or abandon forever.

So does OpenOffice too.

Can someone make a mockup for Scribus? I'm adding what other programs do as per 0008788:0023228 and 0008788:0023230

To me as a Scribus user, this is one of most important issue right now (Dec 2015) in Scribus: recovering lost work due to a crash. Especially with open metabugs like: 0002438 and some open undo/redo crash bugs that are still open

I'm boosting priority on this. If the team doesn't have time to do this perhaps someone independently will...

Franz, any inclination to nail this feature in to 1.5.2 as well ?

Franz! thanks for committing this to r21098
question: how do we test it?

Renaming an Document_autosave_19_03_2016_23_30.sla to Document_emergency_19_03_2016_23_30.sla perhaps? This is the way i did the testing. It's hard to crash Scribus sometimes.
BTW: Scribus scans for *_emergency_*.sla and *_autosave_*.sla

Thanks, I was able to test. Very cool!
