Description luisdlc 2008-12-25 16:46:06 UTC
It simply DOES NOT WORK. I have it set to save every 15 minutes. I was working 
for 2 hours. PC crashed due to stanby function and when I tried to "recover" it 
returned the document as it was BEFORE I started to work today.

Lets point out something very BASIC:

AUTO SAVE is one thing, and AUTORECOVERY is another and is garbage.

The MOST basic and SIMPLE feature: an AUTOSAVE, is simply non existent in this 
software. All that is needed, desperately needed, is a NORMAL autosave. That 
works JUST as if you where clicking the damn 3.5" diskette icon every N minutes.

AND NO, THE AUTORECOVERY IS NOT COVERING that need. It is not the first time it 
fails for me, actually it has NEVER worked; and when you try to "recover" the 
file you just lost wathever you were working on.

HOW HARD can it be to just ADD an AUTOSAVE function? If the autorecovery is to 
remain in the software, for the love of god, add a parallel, independent, 
redundant WHATEVER, but add a proper autosave funcion.

REALLY how hard can it be, to set an option for every n minutes the program to 
SAVE, no, not to autorecovery save, or save recovery info shit or any of the 
sort, JUST SAVE, normally and PRIMITIVELY SAVE the document?!

Even in the prehistoric times when WORDPERFECT ruled the keyboards, there was a 
SIMPLE but RELIABLE auto save function. that thit just that SAVE THE DAMN 
DOCUMENT every N minutes. But lightyears from there, now, in the bright future 
of open sourrce, what do we have? autorecovery info shit that does not work at 
all.

You want to develope some sort of "recovery" technology, hey that's ok, but why 
to deprive the users from a SIMPLE autosave?!

Hey the "save back up copy" option is there right? I don't know who finds that 
usefull but COOL is an option, there, available. WHERE IS MY F*CKING AUTO SAVE?
