Description of problem: document recovery does not actually recover documents, so could we please stop pretending and at least get the annoying dialog out of the way ? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
The dialog does recover if the document was auto-saved from the timer of "tools->options->Load/Save->General->Save Autorecovery Info every 15 minutes", but unfortunately and crucially and annoyingly the document cannot be saved on crash only on timer. "Red Hat reviews and scrubs its code for intellectual property issues. Our approach has always been conservative, i.e., if there is any question, resolve the issue or remove the code. Red Hat recently implemented a number of changes in its distribution of OpenOffice to address such issues. These changes should not be construed as implying any immediate intellectual property problem; rather, they have been implemented to assure that no such immediate problems arise. While implementing these changes in our own distribution of OpenOffice, we have also made them available upstream to the OpenOffice project." yadda, yadda. Yes it sucks. Do I like the current situation ? no :-(
I understand the position on crash auto-save not being possible, that's fine. However, if we disable that maybe we should disable the other autosave option by default ?
Well we can do that, I was sure that the last time I looked at this that it was enabled by default. Some defaults must have changed somewhere, but I can lock down the preferred defaults. modified, will hit next devel build and next FC-5 update if something else crops up to justify a FC-5 update
openoffice.org-2.0.2-5.12.2 has been pushed for fc5, which should resolve this issue. If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.
