From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: If I receive an openoffice document via email, open from evolution and subsequently suffer an openoffice.org crash (which seems to happen fairly frequently), I have no record of any changes. If Openoffice.org were to dump changes to a known temporary file it could offer to recover when restarted. The last crash was caused by opening the new fangled gnome file dialog box to save to a known location, having made appropriate changes. I am unable to replicate the crash and this is a too regular occurrence. I am unable to set openoffice.org to automatically save a file every minute, for if I want to start with a document as a template, start making changes and forget to save to a new file, I am too late to preserve the original document. I know that this seems really obvious that unsaved changes will not be present; however openoffice.org is not the most stable application and even vim, which is incredibly stable (and small) has this ability. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-1.1.2-11.5.fc3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a document for editing and make changes until a crash occurs 2. Open document again and all changes are lost. 3. Actual Results: All new data written to the application is lost. Expected Results: Openoffice.org should be able to recover gracefully from a crash and recover data it has lost. Additional info:
This facility is provided in Openoffice.org release 2
