Besides documents from one module, eg. Writer, with the same name, the backup files omit the file extension and documents from other modules overwrite each other (test.odt => test.back and test.ods => test.bak). We should keep the extension therefore. MSO does not allow to save files with the same name. And backup copies use some hash number like C:\Users\<user>\appdata\roaming\microsoft\Test((310124753096842400)).asd. See also https://www.ubackup.com/backup-restore/backup-word-documents.html. It's an option to implement a similar solution although hard to figure out for users what file belongs the origin. We could also add a checkbox under Load/Save > General underneath "Always create backup copies" and indented so is clearly related to the backup option (and would be disabled if the parent is off). It could be named "[ ] Use the document's folder instead of backup path" (default is off meaning the backup path is used as today). Alternatively we could ditch the backup folder completely and always save at the document location. And last but not least the solution could be to add the origin somehow to the filename or use sub folders. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
