------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Apr 29 13:42:45 +0000 2007 ------- If Tools -> Options -> Load/Save -> -> "Always create backup copy" is enabled, a backup copy of the file being worked on is saved in the directory designated by Tools -> Options -> OOo -> Paths -> Backup. It would be better, if backup copies were saved in the directory of the file being worked on. Additionally, the backup file should be named "$filename.odt~" (ie. the filename should be suffixed by a ~). Reason why that is better: On Linux (or *nix in general), it is custom to create backup copies that way. It also took me quite by surprise, that the backup copy is not stored in the current directory. Another issue by the current way: Suppose, you're editing a file called "Report.odt", stored in some cleverly named directory. Now you edit a DIFFERENT Report.odt from a different directory. Because of the way things are handled currently, there can only by one Report.bak. If the backup files were stored where they belong IMO (ie. in the directory of the file), the number of backup files weren't limited. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
