--- Comment #47 from John <[email protected]> ---
A further point.  I did this earlier test (reported in my Four user problems
paper) which suggests a two stage process in writing a file: first to a
temporary location, then copy to the proper location.

1. File > Open > choose vanity_2.odt.  This is a 4MB .odt file containing only
text (6 copies of Vanity Fair, 1.8 million words) which takes many seconds to
save.

2. Type some text into the document

3. File > Save

4.  Wait a few seconds and kill the soffice.exe and soffice.bin processes (ie
Writer) using TaskManager before Writer has finished writing the file.

5. Start Writer. Writer offers to recover the file vanity_2.odt. When it does
so, vanity_2.odt does not have the new edits – it is as it was when opened at 1
above.

So, it appears that Writer writes the output file in a temporary store, and
only if the file is written completely, does Writer delete the old one, and
replace it with the new one.
