    I cant find the setting for autosave. I just lost a lot of work and i would like to have GIMP automatically prevent that from happening again. TIA

    It seems it's not the case. Here's a post I just found doing a quick search:

    <https://www.reddit.com/r/GIMP/comments/f4bhas/does_gimp_have_auto_save/>

    Although there's a way to do it, but with some more programs, as it's explained here:

    it looks like GIMP will never get an autosave.
    I never tested or tried this.
    I prefer an autosave function which saves to a xxx(1).xcf and not
    overwrites the original xxx.xcf
