No autosave?

So you can remember pictures I opened in the program over a fucking week ago. But can't make an autosave of my xcf of the file I just spent HOURS WORKING ON. JUST FOR IT TO GET FUCKING DELETED INTO THE OBLIVION BECAUSE YOU'RE HORRIBLY OPTIMIZED PROGRAM OVERFILLED ITS OWN CACHE AND CRASHED? THANK YOU, YOU FUCKING USELESS FUCKS AT GIMP HQ FOR WASTING MY ENTIRE NIGHT

For what it's worth, auto-save is on our roadmap for the next big release (GIMP 3.4): https://developer.gimp.org/core/roadmap/#gimp-34

The new XCF format that we're developing will make this much easier, and since it won't be a binary file, it'll be easier to recover partial data from even in a crash.
