After several years on this list and seeing people "lose" documents by not following backup copy strategies I think it´d be worth to make AOO: 1. Automatically save in a Backup Folder dated revisions of every file, eg in C:\USERS\$USER\DOCUMENTS\ create a folder C:\USERS\$USER\DOCUMENTS\AOO_TIME_MACHINE Inside, every document ever opened and edited, would be automagically saved there every 10 minutes as ¨"C:\USERS\$USER\DOCUMENTS\AOO_TIME_MACHINE\MyDocumentName-backup-MM-DD-YY-HH-MM.ODT" Machines come with several-gigabyte SSDs with 1TB no longer being the oddity it once was... so it´s unlikely we´re going to fill up the users HDD or SSD with 2MB files. "The maximum file size for Microsoft Word documents that only contain text is 32 MB. This is true for documents created in Microsoft Word 2007 " https://www.howtogeek.com/448726/how-big-is-too-big-for-a-microsoft-word-document/ Just my $0.02 FC FC --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
