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.
