Bug ID: 94706
Summary: Libreoffice Writer has no AUTOSAVE function
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.0.2.2 release
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I just closed a document via keystrokes without saving it. By doing so I lost
lost about half a day of work. I though I had set an Autosave, however this was
just AutoRecover in Tools, Options, Load/Save. General, "Save AutoRecovery
information every x minutes". This option just recovers documents in case of
crashes, grrr.
The autosave function in Microsoft Office really saves the original document
every 10-15 minutes. So if you close a document without saving it you only
loose a few minutes of work.
I guess the AutoRecover function in Libre/Openoffice was implemented because
the suite crashed quite a lot. It almost seems as if none of the developers
envisioned a use case where the suite would survive a complete working day
without crashing ;-)
I really would like to advise the developers to set the priority as high, since
more and more governmental agencies and corporations are switching to
LibreOffice. The perception of the suite will decrease quite a bit once people
loose a significant amount of time due to this missing feature.
