Bug #: 42511
Summary: LibO makes copies of file but does not remove them
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.4.3 release
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Windows (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Spreadsheet
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
situation: Windows network, with data files on network share.
I encounter copies of spreadsheet files (ODF) on the network. Given the
original filename of name.ods, the copies are called name0.ods, name1.ods, etc.
(depending on th enumber of copies already present).
I do not know how they come to exist, I do know that they are produced by LibO
and not removed.
Once, when the original file was in use, I saw a copy being created when I
tried to open the file in use by someone else. I could not reproduce this
behaviour.
Often, the copy is identical to (with? English not native language)the
original, but I have seen occasions when the copy is not (the copy is much
smaller, once even 0 bytes, and does not contain compressed xml, but
gibberish).
The user have not set 'always save a backup copy' in the options.
I am sorry not being able to provide a reproducible way, but the behaviour is
annoying, with a growing number of copies giving confusion.
