that is a very good point.
Another is that I may be carrying out a multi-stage repair/find & replace regex process & I would NOT want anything saved while am in the middle of that.
IF it goes wrong I want to revert to how the file was
before I started that process;
not to where an autosave had maybe kicked in part way though, maybe after I'd messed up already but had not yet realised it.
so please let's NOT add autosave, unless there is a user option to turn it OFF.
PS I have been using sigil pretty much daily for over a year. I'd don';t think it's ever crashed on me! I have add it fail to open a malformed epub but I have never lost work due to a program crash.
(but I have often mest up regex & had to discard changes + reload! )
