Re: [libreoffice-users] Save auto recovery information
I just checked. I have my auto-save set for 10 minutes. I know that when I are hard at work doing long documents from notes, or outline, I tend to set it for 5 minutes since a lot of the document is "off the cuff" from a small amount of text in cryptic notes and/or outline of the document. It is easier, I find with a lower auto save time. Believe me, it came in handy for several documents on a desktop when we lost power - car hit electric pole or such - and I would have lost a lot of work. Now I do that stuff on a laptop, but I still want the auto save. On 02/23/2018 12:21 PM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) Yeh, 10mins is waaay too often for me.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Save auto recovery information
hi. for changing autoSave: open tools, options, load-save, general and active or deactivate Save AutoRecovery information every: newer versions of libreoffice by default, save the informations every ten minutes and you can change the number of saving.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Save auto recovery information
It is an interesting discussion. A while back auto-save was losing my images from the document, now that seems well and fixed. I have a UPS with 15 mins. or more reserve to give me plenty of time to save when the beeping starts, and LO seems so stable now, my multiple documents can sit open for a week or more and I cannot remember the last crash/hangup.

An auto-save on/off toggle in a top or > bottom bar for easy reference and switching. Just a guess, but why not open the "reference only" documents as read only? I imagine that LibreOffice will not auto save such documents, but if it does I would suggest that that's a bug.

[libreoffice-users] Save auto recovery information
Is it possible to make this setting on a per-document basis. It is a real interruption editing one document with 8-10 others open for reference only, that all auto-save and stop you editing the working document. It would also be useful then to turn auto-save off for reference documents so they are not accidentally altered. If not, possible enhancement. An auto-save on/off toggle in a top or bottom bar for easy reference and switching.
