One of the main problems that I have with Scribus is that is crashes fairly regularly, and I don't always back-up as much as I should (who ever does). Because of that, I have my auto-save set to fairly frequently, but it doesn't seem to help me. When Scribus crashes I re-open my document and can see an auto-saved version or two (usually two, but one is 0 bytes) but I can't open them!
