Hi :) It's not as straight-forwards as that. In 99% (probably a lot more) of times you have the auto-backup feature on you get no problems. I have passed the idea on to the Docs Team though.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to downgrade from 4.0.2. to 3.6.6
Hi :) Congrats on fixing it! Now you see why it's so difficult to pin-down what the problem is. Microsoft have every Tuesday as Patch Tuesday. I think they copied the idea from Symantec (Norton) a few years ago. Symantec use Thursdays. It makes it easier and more predictable for Sys.Admins rather than being completely unpredictable. Patches and updates do sometimes break things so it's nice to know when they are going to happen. Obviously if there is a really serious threat that they develop a patch for they sometimes release it asap rather than waiting but for the most part they stick to holding patches back until the next Tuesday. I suspect it's more to do with rebooting, or perhaps just restarting just LO after turning off the auto back-ups. Anyway, congrats and regards from Tom :) From: William Drago wdr...@gmail.com To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Wednesday, 24 April 2013, 2:51 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] How to downgrade from 4.0.2. to 3.6.6 The problem is solved. I increased memory as was suggested and that fixed it. The strange thing is, I reverted back to the old memory settings and it's still fixed. Don't know why. There was a Windows update this evening. I wonder if that had anything to do with it and it wasn't a LO issue at all? -Bill On 4/23/2013 4:50 PM, Upscope wrote: On Tuesday, April 23, 2013 08:10:49 PM Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) Steve!

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to downgrade from 4.0.2. to 3.6.6
Hi :) Both and any other settings in there too. For some reason i drop the number of undo steps as 100 seems fairly excessive to me but then it depends on the type of editing. I think i usually create back-ups or newer versions more often than that anyway. The defaults seem set for ancient machines or VERY mobile ones that might not have much or any Ram or anything. Nowadays, on a reasonable desktop, 10-15Mb per object doesn't seem unreasonable and i might have quite a lot of objects. Adding front and back-pages of my newsletter i get around 25 images but then it's mostly just 2 per page for the rest. I've not really messed around with this machine and it seems very low with only 20Mb for the use for LibreOffice so i might bump that up quite a lot.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to downgrade from 4.0.2. to 3.6.6
Hi :) Steve! I think that was the trick the Docs Team mentioned! Turn off the auto-back-ups and stuff. Just remember to save often and make your own back-ups.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to downgrade from 4.0.2. to 3.6.6
The problem is solved. I increased memory as was suggested and that fixed it. The strange thing is, I reverted back to the old memory settings and it's still fixed. Don't know why. There was a Windows update this evening. I wonder if that had anything to do with it and it wasn't a LO issue at all? -Bill On 4/23/2013 4:50 PM, Upscope wrote: On Tuesday, April 23, 2013 08:10:49 PM Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) Steve!

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to downgrade from 4.0.2. to 3.6.6
Hi :) Yes. It should be that easy. The only issue is that the 3.6.x branch wont pick-up all the settings and configurations of branch 4.0.x, but that might be advantageous anyway. Before doing the uninstall-reinstall it might be worth considering a couple of other options 1. Renaming your user-profile often fixes weird and unlikely problems https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile branch 4.0.x might not be picking-up the settings and configurations you set for branch 3.x.x but i think you can rename folder 3 to folder 4 to sort that out. 2. Maybe install 3.6.x alongside 4.0.x. I wouldn't advise this as it can get a bit confusing https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel 3. Wait a few days and then install the 4.0.3 when it gets released. Typically new branches have added tons of functionality and better compatibility with MS formats but have been a little buggy sometimes until they reach around x.x.3 or x.x.4. That 3rd digit is a little like the Service Packs that MS uses for it's stuff except they only do 3 whereas LibreOffice does about 6 during the life-cycle. Many people wouldn't consider installing an MS product until at least Sp1. Prior to the 4.0.x i usually didn't upgrade until around x.x.3. I've been quite happy with the 4.0.x but maybe that was luck or that i didn't use it so much.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to downgrade from 4.0.2. to 3.6.6
Bill, I hate to say it, but that was my experience as well with 4.0. There was an important feature (to me at least) that worked well on 3.6 but no longer worked in 4.0. I found the regression to be especially distressing. I simply uninstalled 4.0, and reinstalled 3.6. If I recall, the uninstall process (I also use Win7) did not delete the 4.0 user profile users\(your user name)\AppData\Roaming\Libreoffice\4.0\etc, so I was able to copy what I needed to the Libreoffice\3.0\etc. user profile after installing 3.6. I've decided to be more deliberate about upgrading in the future. Study the release notes and check out bug reports. LO 3.6 works very well for me, so I probably won't upgrade until the latest/greatest has a feature I really need or fixes bugs that have bothered me in the past.

Preferably even at beta-release stage (ie pre-release). That allows me to test out all the features i think i use and play around to see if it feels alright. Then i can post bug-reports while the devs are still most keen and most focussed on fixing things and smoothing it out. It's not always quick to fix but it helps the devs. It might be really great if people could test out a new branch at pre-release stage and then go through some of the existing bug-reports to quickly see if they are still a problem with the newer release. That might really help the devs. Of course on colleagues machines i stick with the stable branch. Any release after x.x.3 is much more stable, with x.x.6 being about as rock-solid as it's possible to get.
