Summary0010220: Configurable directory for .autosaved doc
DescriptionReasons:
1) Automatically generated .autosave docs tend to accumulate when working on differents documents. And since Scribus does not handle big-many-pages documents, we are bound to work on lots of documents for the same project. So .autosave document tend to be too much in the main working directory and it would be usefull to be able to specify a dedicated path where .autosave would be automatically recorded.

2) This feature would be useful if the drive the autosave was occurring is suffered a drive failure. Then it would be helpful to have the ability to customize a default directory.

 The issue is that if let say 0008788 is accepted then an auto-recovery menu wouldn't get triggered because it's not in the current working directory that the Scribus sla is in. This is assuming if the auto-recovery wizard is being triggered by an .autosave file or a .crashed file (or whatever we're calling a file that survives a crash) within the directory that it crashed in.

edit: clarity

if guess that if you don't want them, you can disable them.

anyway, if they are all in the same directory, they should carry random names... or at least a random prefix/sufix.

Has a duplicate in 0013662

The justification, in duplicate, was this feature would be useful if the drive the autosave was occurring is suffered a drive failure. Then it would be useful to have the ability to customize a default directory.
