OK, since everyone agrees that the OP was not quite as polite as would
have been appropriate, let's be serious:
I've been having issues with OO' restore function, too. Regularly, if I'm
working on something, saving, working on something else until OO crashes,
it will restore the saved document to a version that is older than the one
I have saved half an hour ago. => It would be coole if OO could check the
date of the backup-save (I've set to do that every ten minutes, but I
guess it only does that while I'm actually doing something to the
document), compare to the latest manually saved version and give me that
if it's younger.
In another case, I was writing a work protocol as I went along, i.e. I had
the same (draw) document open for weeks and sometimes just typed a word or
two, then continued doing something else, not always remembering to save.
Eventually the computer did crash (not OO in this case), but upon
restarting OO, it also offered to restore to a much older version, so,
because I didn't realize the error immediately, I lost some part of that
protocol, because I saved the older restored version over the saved one.
=> As with many crash-related things, I can't really file a proper bug
report or reproduce the behaviour properly, but by now I've switched to
always making a manual backup of a saved file that OO is offering to
restore after a crash, then compare carefully, then decide which version
to use. Maybe someone who knows more about the inner workings of this
mechanism can say something smart on it?
Of course I am making backups of the really improtant stuff, but I'd
appreciate if the crash recovery wouldn't add to the reasons for doing
that. (Alright, most of the time it does work properly, but that's not the
times I remember best...)
