Aditya, perhaps a great use of your time over the break would be to
enable this feature and test it heavily looking for bugs or
idiosyncracies, and send patches to make it more robust?
Maren, are there reasons why it's not been enabled by default in the
master trunk? If so, those might be key things to focus
testing/bugfixing work on. This will be an important feature for a lot
of people and they'll be glad it's going to be available in 1.0.

Hi!
Yes, the testing would be very welcome. And being an avid user of that feature I have some additional ideas how to improve it. For example having a widget to select directory where autosaves would land would be something I'd appreciate a lot. I put my autosaves on a different location than provided default. On a different hard drive even.
The second thing that falls on my mind is making directories named by dates. For example: 04-12-2018, 05-12-2018 etc. Or maybe even "/home/$USER/selected_directory/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DATE/filename*.svg". At times I did crave for being able to go back in time with finding some WIP versions of a file...
Cheers,
Vladimir
