--- Comment #1 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> --- (In reply to lvm from comment #0) > 1. If two or more files stored in different folders share the same name, > their backup copies overwrite each other, which effectively causes the loss > of backup. This is the real problem. > 2. Many people find it illogical and against the traditional approach when > backups are stored in the same folder as the original file. This is not a problem. Note that the function that you are talking about is not creation of *backup* copies (configured by "Options->Load/Save->General->Always create backup copy", and **created in the same directory as the original file**) - but creation of *autorecovery* information ("Save AutoRecovery information" in the same dialog). The problem here is likely the naming of the directory in "Options->LibreOffice->Paths"; it should not be "Backups", but "Autorecovery". > 3. Single folder with all the backups is cluttered and difficult to navigate. This is also not a problem, because that directory, as explained, is intended for internal purposes, should ideally be managed by the application, and cleared at successful close. We rather should fix the problems that *lead* to its cluttering, not split it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
