Hello,

I strongly suggest that an important alteration to all future releases of
AOO
should be a file save protocol whereby at least a version of the file
being
edited is saved as a backup file.

See this issue: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=111290

Another way will be to modify by default Options > Load/Save > General.
Always create backup copy should be checked and Save AutoRecovery take
too much time. It shouldn't be 15 min, but 2-3 minutes.


+1. But with a difference: those backup files are saved on the user profile
folder. That user profile is hidden on all OSs and for most users a hidden
folder means they will not be able to find the backup file without
guidance.

Hi, folks,

The changes you're suggesting would probably help. But what would help more is fixing the !#$%* problem! I use Writer heavily, and since 2.0 I have never seen this bug. However, I run with a big UPS, and *never* have power failures. AOO should behave gracefully for those. There should be some way to rig a VM to simulate a power failure for the o/s (which is much easier on the hardware than testing with actual power failures). Then maybe the devs can find and fix the bug.
