------- Additional comments from m...@openoffice.org Wed May 20 14:25:08 +0000 2009 ------- mav->de_logics: First of all, if disk device becomes unavailable during writing, the office can do nothing against file corruption. We can try to preserve the document contents, but the file on the device will stay corrupted because the office has no chance to repair it. From your comments it looks like you accept this base idea, I have mentioned it only to be sure. To prevent possible problems in this case the target document is already backuped before it will be overwritten. The backuped version is stored in the user backup folder ( can be found in Tools/Options/OpenOffice.org/Paths tabpage ) for the time the document is stored. After successful storing the backup is removed, otherwise it remains there. I assume that you can still find the backuped version of your file in this folder. Moreover, you can let the office not to remove the backup file each time the document is stored. So in the scenario you have mentioned the error will be shown, and the document stays in changed state, that means that you will be asked to store it before closing. If the system is crashed/turned off, the office process dies and next time the office is started it repaires the documents that was edited before system crash/shut down. So you are not right assuming that in this case user would get no notification. So there is no problem at all in the reproducible scenario you have mentioned, the data is not lost. In case the system has crashed, the current repairing mechanics should already be able to repair the file. If you have a concrete scenario where it does not work please submit it. Currently we still have no concrete problem to solve, we only know that your file was corrupted somehow. There are no known bugs in this area, so without additional info regarding corruption scenario it is not possible to say how could it happen. And some more asks. - If you have a concrete scenario regarding mentioned in your post issue "I've heard this issue many time on various Linux distributions and specially with large documents (20 pages onwards)." please describe it in details, as you for example did it for the disk disconnection scenario above. - As well as comparing with other applications, it would be very interesting to know what do they do better, if it is described with explicit examples, facts and so on. Otherwise it sound just like common words that are not really based on facts, and thus can not be taken seriously. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
