Summary: Buffers and recovery suggestion
Classification: Unclassified

Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Libreoffice
AssignedTo: [email protected]

comment found on slashdot.org concerning recovery mechanism:
"but recent (3.x) versions of OpenOffice ate my kids documents. It really
sucked. From what I can gather it's a known bug in the document recovery module
that hasn't been fixed to this day. The program crashes, writes a blank
document out as the 'recover' document, then cheerfully overwrites all your
original file and any of the automatically made backups. I suppose that
somewhere along the line there was some user error. My kid probably could have
said 'no' to something and stopped the whole mess. But seriously, she shouldn't
have too. I've got a 500 frickin' gig drive in her machine. The biggest word
doc I've ever seen in my life was 5 megs (mostly pictures). Why the hell do we
still delete shit? Just make a huge undo buffer or something. I've got half a
fscking terabyte. Come on OO.org, just use it already!"
maybe a good idea?
