You mean that option doesn't work for you? FWIW you may have a look at kate (a KDE/Qt app), it creates a hidden file *.kate-swp in the directory where the file you're editing exists and usually if it crashed and didn't close properly it will alert you the next time you open that file that it wasn't saved properly and give you an option to "restore" the file. And it supports tabs.
