Surely this should only be after the Save process reaches a conclusion. I can recollect from my CP/M days that one had to adopt a certain sequence in saving a file for best security. One saved the file to File.new (say), then renamed File.org to File.bak then renamed File.new to File.org. Is this or a similar protocol being followed in OO? Perhaps some temporary relief can be obtained by changing the options in OpenOffice to_always_ generate a backup. What happens with the backup when you work on a writer and a calc document e.g. test.odt and test.ods? I have no idea if test.bak is a writer or a calc document. What will happen if both backups are made at the same time, would they corrupt the backup file? Could something similar happen with auto recovery files? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@openoffice.apache.org
