I just checked. I have my auto-save set for 10 minutes. I know that when I are hard at work doing long documents from notes, or outline, I tend to set it for 5 minutes since a lot of the document is "off the cuff" from a small amount of text in cryptic notes and/or outline of the document.

hi. for changing autoSave: open tools, options, load-save, general and active or deactivate Save AutoRecovery information every: newer versions of libreoffice by default, save the informations every ten minutes and you can change the number of saving. On 2/23/18, Tom Davies

Hi :) If you do try turning the auto-save off then you really need to get into the habit of doing your own saves quite frequently. I tend to find that creating a document originally takes me a fair while but if i lose it then it takes me a LOT less time 2nd time around. When first trying to

It is an interesting discussion. A while back auto-save was losing my images from the document, now that seems well and fixed. I have a UPS with 15 mins. or more reserve to give me plenty of time to save when the beeping starts, and LO seems so stable now, my multiple documents can sit open

My beef with autosave is that it seems to start saving just as I start typing and it does not save my keystrokes while it is saving and I don't notice it is saving. I end up after the autosave, having to evaluate what keystrokes worked and what didn't, and redoing the keystrokes that got

Hi :) +1 to all points there! I hadn't thought through my suggestions! The autosave thing is something that annoys me more than it helps. I don't like my machine putting me on hold when it suddenly decides it needs to do something. I tend to switch features like this off where I can and then

Hi :) I'm not sure how to open as read-only myself but i'd guess a right-click either per file or on a group of selected files prolly has something. I think chmod might help change which user "owns" the files - or put them on a volume/drive/folder that is mounted read-only - but that all seems a

Is it possible to make this setting on a per-document basis. It is a real interruption editing one document with 8-10 others open for reference only, that all auto-save and stop you editing the working document. It would also be useful then to turn auto-save off for reference documents so
