Priority: medium
Bug ID: 77788
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: FILESAVE: Warn the user when saving files to a tmpfs
filesystem
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.2.1 release
Component: UI
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
Ubuntu's guest account has the home directory mounted on a tmpfs filesystem
(which is actually mounted on a directory inside /tmp), so all of that user's
data is lost after log out.
This is an issue with Ubuntu (not LibreOffice), but I've seen a friend lose a
long LibreOffice document that he had edited while logged in to a guest account
on my computer.
So, I thought it would be helpful if LibreOffice could show a warning message
whenever a user tries to save a file to a tmpfs (or, alternatively, if the path
is anywhere under /tmp - this should be easier to implement).
Steps to reproduce:
1. Log in to Ubuntu using the guest account.
2. Create a document using LibreOffice.
3. Add content to the document and save it to the suggested location.
Current behavior:
No warning is shown about the document being saved to a directory whose content
will be lost after log out (a tmpfs, more specifically).
Expected behavior:
A warning message telling the user that the document is being saved to a
location where it may be lost after log out.
Thank you!
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.2.2.1 release
