--- Comment #28 from rob <squaretrian...@hotmail.co.uk> --- This is still broken for me on version 4.3.3.2 in debian and version 4.3.7.2 in windows. I have lost half a days work MULTIPLE TIMES. I'm not sure if this report is saying now that it's been fixed or if the autosave feature has been REMOVED? I'm wondering if i'll gain anything by upgrading to the latest version--since I cannot reliably reproduce the bug, the only way to confirm is to see if I lose more swathes of work. I uploaded a question to stackexchange on it since I thought it was a user error at first. http://tinyurl.com/huogel3 As you can see, it sometimes does observe the autosave settings, and sometimes doesn't. I do not know what the conditions are, but right now I have an instance of libreoffice calc open and I type in changes and hit enter, and nothing in the main or backup directory gets updated within the configured timeframe. Earlier today when I did the same test, it updated just fine! > As for the priority - I'm changing it for a couple reasons: > 1) Clearly not affecting a ton of people, a couple dupes over two years; A serious bug felt by one or two people is still a serious bug. I also don't think this is a reliable indicator of how many people are running into it. That assumes the people who experience it are all filing reports. > 2) You're not going to lose any data unless you specifically say "no" to > saving when you try to close - if LibrOffice crashes, your auto recovery > works fine Who said auto recovery works fine? The autosaves aren't happening which means the backups to the backup directory aren't being saved to recover from it (that's where autorecovery gets it, right?). And I've lost tons of progress after autorecovery. I don't even understand how autorecovery works--even if I try to cancel my way past it it offers to save a backup. It's not intuitive. Not to mention, on multiple occasions the app hasn't closed cleanly. My PC never crashes yet the amount of times I've seen autorecovery pop up is ridiculous. > 3) This was a *new* feature in 4.1 - worst case we should just remove it as > it never worked right (something I'll probably do just to avoid confusion) Just to clarify, you're proposing to remove an elementary feature like autosaving of documents that most people would naturally assume to exist in any modern office application? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
