Long shot but try /tmp ?? On my machine it has a working copy in /tmp/<some-hash>.tmp/<some-hash>.tmp but deletes the directory when you exit OO.
Slightly off topic, when file saves are critical to me, I don't overwrite versions. Starting with report01a.odt, when I load it the first thing before any modification is save as report01b.odt. For a long report I may be at version "r" or report03g.odt before I'm finished. This protects me both from myself and the report writer. Chris On 11-10-23 12:52 PM, dd...@nucleus.com wrote:
Hi,
I have been writing a paper using open office
writer and was saving the document as I was writing
it. When I was saving the most current document it
was not saved but an earlier one was saved instead. I
was also copying the file to my usb stick as well but
the same file was on it as well. Each time I saved
the file I checked that the file size had increase
before over writing the older save file and nothing
seemed to be any different in this case.
I checked Open Office forum and documentation and
discovered that Load/Save option Always create backup
copy was not selected. I believe this is a feature
that the user must select. I checked open office user
backup folder in my file system and the file is not
there.
Would anyone know if there would be another
location this file may have been saved or stored and
a way to retrieve the file? I understand that once a
file is over written it is gone.
Thanks for your time,
Darcy
