Hi!

The broken auto recovery function is the worst thing with openoffice.org 3 version. In a company where small unit is testing openoffice.org, like in my case, it is very strong argument against broader use of the program. I made a small instruction, how to avoid data losses at least temporarily. The main point is not to allow auto-recovery process, but to copy the last version of document from temporary folder somewhere else and to rename it to writer or whatever document, otherwise it will be deleted during recovery. This will be the last auto-recovery version. Auto-recovery file can be taken a bit later also from backup folder, if the problem is crash of program, not a hardware failure.

Sincerely,

Andis

The problem in OO.o 3.0 was caused by a regression. It has been located and fixed and will be in the next release. We should all be thankful that this problem has been reported so we can remember to manually save very frequently since we now know that AutoRecovery does not work.

Now why don't you quit sounding like the defence lawyer for a rapist who is constantly trying to blame the victim.

Which is quicker - to fix a local problem with power to your pc or to fix OOo? That is my point - speed of response.
