Bug 65509 is about the AutoSave feature being broken, so that is why I closed your report as a duplicate. It is unfortunate that the report has languished since 2013, but we have thousands of bug reports and requests and a limited number of developers. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127224 --- Comment #21 from stephenbos...@gmail.com --- I apologise. Sincerely. I am so very sorry. I am grateful for your help. I am. I thought you were a member of the dev team. I welcome your opinion as a user. I hope you understand where I'm coming from. I have found this very frustrating. Once again, I apologise. Thank you for your help. In light of this conversation perhaps you will allow this feature request to remain open. Although the macro is very useful it is not what I am looking for. I don't want a backup I want the file I'm working on to be saved under its own name, replacing the file on disk that I opened. Please accept my apology and reconsider my request. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127224 --- Comment #20 from Buovjaga --- It seems I hastily gave bad links to the AskLibO answers - to the revision history instead of the answers. I can't find a way to link to the answers themselves so: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/75460/libo-515-on-debian-85-writer-close-without-asking-to-save-in-need-of-an-automatic-incremental-saving-function/?answer=75547#post-id-75547 The answer by mark_t has a TimeAutoBackup document, which contains the macro module and documentation. Quoting from the file: "Copy the three modules from the Standard Library of this document or from the module code sections of the text of this document. In the “TimedBackup” module set “Const iBackupTimeSeconds” to the desired delay between automatic saves in seconds. Recommended 900 = 15 minutes. Under “Tools”, “Customise...”, select save in LibreOffice and assign the macro “Standard.TimedBackup.TriggerAutomaticBackup” to the events for "Document loading finished" and "Document has been saved as". In “AutoBackup” module, set sPathBackupFolder to select the location for saving timed backups. The default "\BackupDocs" will save timed backups to a subfolder "BackupDocs" of the current documents location."

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127224 --- Comment #19 from stephenbos...@gmail.com --- As far as I can see the macro requires a manual trigger. This is not what I need. I want a timed automatic event that triggers the same process as I will trigger when I press the save button. The macro does not provide that. It is not for you to tell me that what you want is better than what I want. Can you explain why this feature is so difficult for LO to implement? The function exists as a response to the File.Save event. All I want is a timed loop that does exactly the same thing. Now there may be a very good reason why this impossible but I am yet to hear it. I receive condescension and correction but no explanation. It's a simple request and all I get back from the LO dev community is a dismissal insisting that I don't really want what I want. This suggests a charge of arrogance and indifference to users. Users are losers is a refrain I'm familiar with through my time as a developer. The LO community is beginning to show itself as that kind of culture. I hope to be proven wrong. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

You have to use the macro solution and it is anyway better to have incremental versions of the files.

That is not the same thing. Autosave saves an image that I restore through autorecovery that overwrites the file in place. This runs into problems with a version control program. People have been asking for this for many years yet the LO development community is resistant. There may be a very good reason for this resistance but it has never been explained to me.

The suggested macro saves a *backup* of the file when I manually trigger a file.save. I'm looking for a feature that will *automatically* save a file I have open that is modified. Expressed simply: - consider the File.Save item on the File menu -- the event handler that responds to that trigger - every n minutes *automatically* fire that event handler. This could be implemented by a simple timed loop that checks if a file is modified and if it is then trigger the File.Save event. The suggested solution -- the macro -- adds an additional process to the file.save event and a useful feature that is indeed. However that solution does not satisfy the requested requirement.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127224 --- Comment #8 from stephenbos...@gmail.com --- Auto-recovery is not an acceptable solution for this requirement. Consider this scenario: - I neglect to manually save a document - I check in the directory - On another host I make changes to the same file -- attempting to reconstruct the lost changes - Back on the home host I checkout those changes - Open the document in LO - Auto recovery overwrites the changes Now admittedly there are steps along the way this could have been avoided, and many people may insist that sinners must suffer the consequences of their sins. However other people may argue, I among them, that it is not the place of software to play the scold. This is a feature that many people have requested and that is persistently denied for reasons that are not clear. On the face it seems a simple request. A timed loop that triggers the file.save function on dirty files. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

I do understand that such cases are instances of operator error -- I do I do -- but every other word processor I've used offers this feature and in these days with our fast disks even a large file saves instantly. I've read that previous attempts to provide this feature wiped out the file's history for undo, but I do not find that a simple save of the file has this effect. It should be possible to do this with a macro but I had difficulty with the macro framework and running context, and I don't have the time to learn unfortunately. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
