Absolutely in favour of the idea - i suggested it myself on Bug #843361.
A temporary copy of everything scanned so far should be saved, and then
if the session crashes, you can continue with what you were doing before
by 'recovering it', or you can add new scan feeds to the document later.

It's a sorely needed feature and it makes a lot of bugs a lot more
manageable because you obviously you then don't have to start scanning
copies from the beginning of your enormous (sic) document again ;)

  Simple Scan crashes result in preventable data loss

Status in Simple Scan:

Bug description:
  As a matter of fact Simple Scan crashes often. Bad drivers, Out Of
  Memory Problems, ...

  These problems should be fixed, but for the meanwhile it would be worthwhile to minimize data and time lost in such cases.
  For the bad drivers cases there already is Bug #564357 but especially for the OOM problem and to take some pressure from the complex Bug #564357 I suggest to look for other ways to minimize data loss.

  Ideas: 
  - save work to temporary files, and optimally allow to recover from such files (can perfectly be combined with the feature request to manually load a file at startup to add pages to that file).
