Summary0017493: Saving to emergency auto-save filename
DescriptionI suggest that Scribus warn (i.e., ask for confirmation) when saving to a filename which is in the emergency auto-save format.
Steps To ReproduceHave Scribus crash. Have user reopen Scribus and select the emergency save file. They see their work recover, and continue working, saving periodically. If, say, at the start of the next day they clean up "old" emergency files (remember, its filename has the timestamp of the original crash) they lose all their subsequent work.
Additional InformationI suggest when they save, it pops up "You're saving on top of an emegency auto-save file. Are you sure this is what you want to do?"

FWIW, another approach would be to create emergency save files and leave them with read-only, so it's mildly difficult to write on them.

making the files read-only seems to be the better solution.
