Save AutoRecover information automatically

AutoRecover is not a replacement for regularly saving your files. If you choose not to save the recovery file after you open it, the file is deleted, and your unsaved changes are lost. If you save the recovery file, it replaces the original file (unless you specify a new file name). The more frequently your files are saved, the more information is recovered if there is a power failure or other problem while a file is open.
