    Auto-recover file shouldn't be deleted if Photoshop closes properly.

      Working with numerous docs open it's very easy to accidentally close files without saving. This is especially the case if you're dragging a lot of files from other windows into your main document. Indeed it is a user error, but one that, at least in the way I work in PS, is a mistake that I make from time to time and is massively frustrating. I work fast and muscle memory is usually to blame.

       

      It is especially frustrating when you do this, and close Photoshop with the thought... I can just grab the auto-recover... awesome. Nope. it was deleted. I understand that we can't stockpile large auto-recover files indefinitely, but immediately deleting the file on close is not great. give it a day or a week or let the user define the time period.
