Description of problem: After select "Always save a version on closing", do some changes to the document and check the File->Versions, there is none new version is automatically saved. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-*-2.3.0-6.7.el5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open/create a text document 2. click File->Versions and check "Always save a version on closing" is selected 3. do some changes to the document and then close the file 4. check the list of Existing versions Actual results: None newer version is automatically saved Expected results: Openoffice.org should automatically save a new version when close the document after make some changes Additional info:
Are you *sure*. It works for me. When I do this I get the usual "you have unsaved changes, do you want to save them", on trying to close with unsaved changes, and if you agree to save then it appends a new version to the list of versions in the versions list.
So, what you mean is only when we close with unsaved changes can this function will work? And if we save it before closing, the new version will not be added to that list?
Yes, what is does is "If you have made changes to your document, a new version will be saved when you close the document", so if you have a document, and use "save" it updates the current version of the document and you no longer have unsaved changes. The auto-save will only save a new version if there are unsaved changes when you close i.e. this is http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=63679 Its this way by design, might be an rather clunky design which needs better text like "Always save unsaved changes to a new version on closing"
> Its this way by design, might be an rather clunky design which needs better text > like "Always save unsaved changes to a new version on closing" Yes, I agree, moreover openoffice.org should clarify clearly about this in its Online Help Content. Agree to close as NOTABUG. Thank you very much,Caolan.:)
