Re: [libreoffice-users] insufficient user rights if I change the filename
Hi :) I change the default autosave time to something fairly long, around 1 hour or so. So, if i do accidentally spend a lot tooo long making a cuppa tea then at least my work gets saved.

Re: [libreoffice-users] insufficient user rights if I change the filename
As a forced Windoze user with nearly daily machine crashes (Blue Screen of Frustration anyone?) with a high loss record, I have my autosave set for every 5 minutes.
