Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: QUESTION: Libreoffice documents constantly need recovery

Hi :)
Both things happen.  Windows sometimes makes a bit of a fuss about not shutting 
down when asked to.  It prefers to find excuses and panicks about open 
documents.  If you did have an open document then it will often tend to have a 
problem and want you to "recover" it even if you dealt with those error pop-ups 
neatly during shut-down.  Neither thing always happens but one or the other or 
both do happen fairly often.  


I once shut-down halfway through writing something in a Gnu&Linux, got a brief 
warning that i ignored and it quickly timed out and continued with the 
shut-down.  Then i installed a completely different gnu&linux over the top of my 
OS and opened the  text-editor to find it reopened the unsaved text-file with 
only a few words missing.  Sadly it was a very unimportant note and i've not 
repeated the experiment because it's too risky to do stuff like that.  It 
shouldn't work so it was quite a surprise.  

Regards from
Tom :)

It will not *abort*, but the next time Word, for instance, opens you
will definitely be prompted to check whether you want to recover the
last doc(s) you were working on, even if you carefully saved the
doc(s) before ending your last session. Try it and see. Microsoft
Office and LibreOffice function fairly similarly from this viewpoint,
and it does help to prevent data loss when crashes or accidents
happen.

BTW, I am *not* getting into a "Word versus Writer stand-off" here... :-)
