Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer recover document

Hi Tom,

to my understanding there are two different mechanisms:

1) backup files, created when reopening a file (i.e.
        /home/w/.libreoffice/3/user/backup/file.bak)

2) the auto-recover-info saved while editing any x Minutes.

The second one is not used in the recover process! So I end up with an 
outdated file version. However it still exists in the /tmp/.../0.odt file.
The recover function should use that information.

Have you an advice?

Walther
