24680	Upon restoring the autosavea file after JOSM crash, the autosave files are deleted BEFORE securing a save.	SekeRob	SekeRob	"""Upon restoring the data file after JOSM crash, the autosave files are immediately deleted BEFORE securing a save."" The File Menu, Toolbar icon and Ctrl+S are all disabled until one makes a single node add to the map. In this case upon loading the first image layer to see where to plant that, JOSM crashed again and all me hard intense landscape mapping were down the toilet.

How I know: When JOSM crashes I open up the regular data folder and the autosave folder to see which has the latest save time. It showed the last manual save was an hour before the last autosave. The timestamp makes me decide to not bother with restoring if the manual save is the freshest of the 2.

A solution: We need regular save enabled when a restore has taken place just before so that a copy can be secured to the regular data folder or a build-in routine that permits to backup the autosave data elsewhere, post haste.
