Luisdlc - Your complaint is inappropriate on so many levels. First off - this is
a thread about fixing a specific problem. Yours is a totally different issue,
which belongs on the forum. However, the fact that is a complaint and not a
polite "How do I...?" or "Wouldn't it be nice to have a feature that...?" type
of question is beyond me. This is free software supported by volunteers. Its not
a situation where you paid for a feature that wasn't delivered. You come across
as the type of person that yells at waiters and kicks dogs.
You also seem to be the kind of person that expects everything to be done for
them. How about learning how to use features out of your comfort zone? I'm very
new to OOO, but it took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to put together a
script that accomplishes your needs by first recording a save macro and then
going to the documentation to find the control statements. Run it once every
time you load a document that you want autosaved. Here it is:
sub AutoSave
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
rem Run this macro for any document that needs an autosave
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
rem Set Wait variable to your frequency preference. Use milliseconds.
rem Examples: 10 minutes = 600000 2 minutes = 120000
nextSave: wait 300000
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
rem define variables
dim document as object
dim dispatcher as object
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
rem get access to the document
document = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame
dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:Save", "", 0, Array())
GoTo nextSave
end sub
However, I don't recommend using it. As you said, it is a "primitive" feature.
The point of autorecover is to provide the choice of keeping or rejecting edits.
With autosave, you are always committed to changes and you can lose important
work. If all you do is create or edit documents without thinking about the
implications to what existed before, then your work is probably as thoughtless
as your complaint.
