Is it possible to enable an autosave after any operation I do in InkScape?
This would be really handy because sometimes it crashes, and pressing CTRL + S is annoying.

I don't know how to completely solve this problem, but this is the workaround that I use at the moment:
- The
pdf2svgpackage transforms a apdftosvgby vectorizing the text using the embedded fonts, so it doesn't matter if inkscape has or hasn't access to these fonts. - The downside is that after the vectorization one cannot modify the text any more. For this I use
TeXText
You should upgrade your Inkscape to the PPA version Pre-0.49, my testing produced results using masking, clipping and a reference path difference:
To upgrade your inkscape, open up a terminal and issue the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:inkscape.dev/trunk
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install inkscape-trunk
This should remove the 0.48 version of inkscape and replace it with the pre-0.49 version you need for your pdf file.

No. You can have an autosave but it is based on an interval with a 1 minute minumum, not on an action.
By the way, in case you did not know: Inkscape does an emergency save when it crashes so you should be able to retrieve the file that was active while it crashed.
