--- Comment #17 from Luke Kendall <[email protected]> ---
I'm happy to try a special version to try this out.
I understand and agree with both of Justin L's comments (#14 & #15).
I think this point is especially interesting:

-if the save of a non-active document affects the working document (likely
true)
     - then having staggered saves would actually be even more disruptive

I have direct experience of editing multiple related long documents together,
and can state that one unsaved and modified document will trigger an autosave
for all such docs.

For me personally, the autosave is so disruptive, on a long document with lots
of comments for example, because it can take so long, is that when you get
caught because you forget to manually save doc A after a change and went back
to doc B, that when you're forced to stop and wait by an autosave, it reminds
you to manually save the docs you forgot to, and then continue work on
whichever doc is your main focus of attention.

So I'm hopeful that in practice the change will reduce the number of
interruptions despite the truth of Justin's point in comment 14.

Regarding comment 15, that's completely correct behaviour - although it seems
to me, if Writer saw that the modification time of the doc was older than the
last autosave it had done for that doc, that another autosave is redundant and
just wasteful of time and energy.
