This is related to 126233 and 33444, but is not the same.
Ubuntu Jaunty, updated as recently as 12:05 am January 8th 2009
Open Office tries to recover documents that it thinks the user isn't
finished with. In the case of unsaved documents that were lost do to a
crash, this feature is completely necessary.
Open Office saves the not-yet saved documents to /tmp/. If I closed the
document without saving, and really didn't intend to, that is because my system
crashed, or lost power. I use a laptop, so it isn't inconceivable that the
battery ran out. Anything saved to /tmp/ disappears after shutdown, On my
system at least.
Open Office tries to recover these documents, even though they do not
exist. After Open Office tries to recover them, and fails, the next time I
start the application, it tries to recover these non-existent documents a
second time. I have a list of unrecovered documents 10 long.
In addition to that, Open Office trys to recover documents that I
saved previous to shutdown. These documents don't need recovery, they
were saved, and no changes were made between saving and shutdown. This
happens even if I don't make any changes to the document at all, and am
only looking at a document previously saved.
Suggested solution:
Backup unsaved work in ~/.OORecoveryFolder
Do not attempt recovery of documents that were unexpectedly closed with no
changes from copy on disk.
