But autosave saves to a .sla.bak file so it doesn't touch your original
file.  You can safely close and re-open your original by choosing not to
save.

And thats why these options are always configurable!  If I've worked on
somehting for half an hour then get a phone call and return to discover
Scribus has crashed (or a power cut or whatever) at least I know I can
restore to the last few minutes...  As scribus becomes more stable I'd
hope to reduce the autosave time to say 20mins then 30mins...  Meaning I
could get 27mins work done in half an hour instead of the current 21mins
while I wait for autosave
