If I had a binary choice to put autosaves and logfiles "in same folder"
or "in a sub-folder", I'd vote for Adrien's solution. But I'd prefer to
see it configurable, so that everyone can have it as they wish.

As for the lock file, to me it seems most useful if it's in the same
folder as the database, as it is now. That makes it a bit easier to
notice. Why the OP had to "search for" it is a mystery to me.
