... You don't say what O/S you're using. On Linux, Inkscape puts autosave files in your ~/.inkscape directory. All you have to do is rename them to *.svg and open them again. I don't know about other platforms.

BTW, was there a specific reason for choosing these directories? At least on Windows it might make more sense to save it to the "My Documents" directory (or something similar), as the current location (the user's "home" directory) isn't exactly a well-known directory on Windows (most users probably don't even know where it is and certainly don't expect to ever have to look there).
