------- Additional comments from [email protected] Sat Mar 6 01:36:21 +0000 2010 ------- This is a user interface issue. Suppose I have a .odb file XYZ open in OpenOffice Base. I want to make some changes, but in case I want to back out of them, I want a backup copy. So I copy my .odb file to XYZ1.odb. I want to be sure that XYZ1.odb never gets scribbled on, so I can go back to it if necessary. Now I edit a form in XYZ.odb (confident, so far, that if I make a mistake, XYZ1 will be a source of recovery). I make changes (spending (and this is true...) hours over them.) Then I click "save" and up comes the message: "OK to save XYZ1?" So I think "Aaargh! No! I don't want to scribble on my precious backup!" so I click "cancel" and all my work is lost. I try again, waste more hours, and lose still more work... and then I begin to realize what is going on... Had I renamed my backup "XYZ2.odb" none of this would ever have happened. But still: is this kind of thing really useful/necessary/helpful? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
