--- Comment #3 from Radish <babelfish0...@hotmail.com> ---
I agree with the suggestion being made however I would like the naming scheme
to be of the form WhateverFilename.odt.bak (and so forth). Using this type of
naming scheme also gets around a potential problem with the naming of .bak
files as it stands at the moment:

Suppose a user has two documents BalanceSheet.odt and BalanceSheet.ods. And the
user modifies them at different points in time. What happens with the backups?
Well, there will only be one backup (BalanceSheet.bak) file and it will be
whichever of those two documents was last modified and saved — the save
overwrites the previous .bak file (and in doing so changes the file-type too,
if you see what I mean). That's a problem with the current naming scheme for
backups. The naming scheme I would like to see gets around this potential
issue.

I do think that adopting this naming scheme would be of good benefit to
LibreOffice — it clarifies things for the user and it solves a potential
problem with the naming scheme as it stands at the moment.
