------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed May 19 08:35:41 +0000 2010 ------- This is a problem awaiting a solution for many many years. The autosave function is confusing and misleading. Just yesterday when I opened an important document after Windows restarted, the autosave function delivered me the same document under the SAME NAME. So I had 2 documents open at the same time! It took me a long while to discover which one was the most recent document! The autosave function should work similarly to WordPerfect, which always leaves the original document untouched (until the person willingly overrites it) and autosaves documents under a NEW NAME. If not a new name, a special SUFFIX would be a good idea. In the eyes of the OpenOffice team this might appear simply as a nice enhancement, but when you use OpenOffice daily in stress situations this is more than just a missing feature, it's a must. Sorry for my style, but I filed this issue already 4 or 5 years ago and nothing's been done about it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
