Say 95% of bitmap editing is done in Gimp.

Options for people who loose Y hours of work by slips of fingers: -When starting to edit, why not immediately do a Save as xxx.xcf? -Why not add (to Gimp) the possibility to maintain an autosave copy in (.XCF format) each N minutes? And not delete it for X days? -Why not make the Undo buffer for the last N edited images persistent for X days? Disk space is generally not an issue.
