I am on 4.0.3 currently.

I had a file and an autosave file. I opened the autosave first, manually, looked at it, then closed it. I then opened the non-autosaved (original) document. It told me there was an autosaved version of that document, and asked if I'd like to open that instead, I said no or cancel or whatever the button said and my autosaved document was deleted (with no warning) from the file save location. (This was not an animation file.)

Is this intended behavior? If so, is there a setting to change this behavior? I don't recall this happening in the past (several versions ago). Is there a way to recover this file? It is no longer in the original file save location.

I had been having quite a few problems with autosaving, recently.

For example, the program not autosaving at all (I was working on an animation). I thought If i just delete the autosave that was sitting in the file location, it would regenerate an autosave, It did not. It only started autosaving and generating an autosave once I saved it as a new file name.
