I like saving the whole file, but I don't typically deal with large
files such as books. A large file might put a load on the system or
stop you from typing for a while, so having an either/or option as part
of the options dialogs might be best.

Has anyone else noticed the difference between the autosave of these
two versions (2.0Beta = 1.9.95).
I used to like, in OOo, how when you asked it to autosave every X
minutes, it would do just that - save the actual file along with the
changes. This is different, and superior (IMHO), to the way that M$
Office where it autosaved 'file recovery' information. With OOo the
actual file was saved and you knew when you closed the file it was
accurately updated.
I've recently noticed that OOo2.0 Beta has adopted the M$ Office
method of dealing with this. The option is now even known as 'auto
save file recovery information'. I believe it now does as M$ office
does and saves auto recovery information so it can recover the
document in the event of a crash.
What is everyones thoughts on this - my opinion is that this is a
backwards step - OOo did it a superior way and now we have adopted the
M$ way of doing things, in my mind, to OOo's detriment.
My aim will be, depending on support, file an issue/enhancement...
Thoughts / feedback....
