Summary
The solution presented here shows a list of the crashed files and buttons to recover now, recover later or delete. A preview like the in the open dialog is also shown.
Release Note
Rationale
The way Inkscape manages the crashed files is cumbersome and a bit misleading for a starter. I've some reasons that explains this:
- The user doesn't know when there is a file that can actually be recovered.
- The user might be confused about the strangely named files in his personal folder (e. g.: New document 1.2008_07_01_15_47_14.0) because it doesn't show the name given by the user and has no .svg extension.
- The files get scattered around his folder.
- The Open dialog doesn't show these files nor its previews (I guess this is related to the fact of the lack of extension).
So I'm trying to design a dialog which takes care of these problems. This spec also suggests how the files should be managed at the point of crashing and creating them.
