autosave file is not opened after crash but removed silently (lp:#1820433)
Original report created by michalstec (nnn4000)
KiCad used to ask user if he wants to recover files from autosave file but
currently it doesn't work this way. Instead the autosave is silently
removed. I think that the function which did that is the
"CheckForAutoSaveFile" (it contains the question "Well this is potentially
embarrassing [...]". Is it supposed to work? It doesn't work for me neither
on windows nor linux.
Also it seems to me that default autosave intervals are random. I installed
new stable KiCad on two computers with windows and the values were -27
minutes on one and some thousands of minutes the second one.
