I'm not complaining, just observing, and Thank you for making the point
more clearly. It appears all that's necessary is to make the features
be the default.
I looked in a directory of OO files I've been editing, and there are
no backup files, so automatic backups aren't the default.
After an upgrade, many users have a problem with the profile, and the
recommended solution is to reset it, which would most likely turn off
automatic backups.
Automatic saving of a file every 'n' minutes, and creating an automatic
backup file aren't the same thing. If automatic saving uses the same file
name, it could be destructive, if it uses a different file name, and the
program or system crashes, how does one find the file?
If there's a crash protection file, why would the user be required to
turn it on? When you restart OO after a crash, does it ask if you want
to recover the file? When is the crash protection file deleted?
