--- Comment #1 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu)
<stephane.guil...@libreoffice.org> ---
I can see that the autorecovery file (same extension as file being edited, e.g.
ODT) saved in the "backup" path (specified in Tools > Options > LibreOffice >
Paths, e.g. /home/username/.config/libreoffice/4/user/backup on Linux) is
deleted as soon as "don't save" is clicked in the exit dialog (or as soon as
the file is saved). I haven't tested if it can be somehow recovered on Linux.
That being said, I see not leaving traces as a good thing: I expect a user
clicking "do not save" to not want anyone to be able to recover data they
explicitly chose _not_ to store.
AutoRecovery is designed for when something unexpected happens (e.g. a crash).
If the user says "don't save the changes", LO should delete those changes.
If you want to always store your changes, you can chose "automatically save the
document too", and create n-1 backup copies with "Always create backup copy"
(the .bak file in the backup directory, which does not get deleted).
[Please test with version 24.2, as this area saw some changes - see
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/24.2#Core_/_General)
In my opinion, "not a bug". Justin and the UX/design team can weigh in.
