Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto save didn't work?

Hi :)
I tend to have auto-save off or set at much longer intervals.

Generally i tend to find that it takes almost no-time to re-type or
re-do anything that took under 20mins to do the 1st time around and
often there is an improvement 2nd time around anyway.  Also i find it
really frustrating to have to stop mid-flow when i am cracking on with
something.  It's too easy to get distracted in my office as it is
anyway.  20mins to half hour saves are usually more than enough and if
i do them myself then it's easier to remember to add 1 to the
documents version number to make sure i have an old version in easy
reach if something goes badly wrong.

Errr, my version numbers are a tad basic, none of this fancy 3 digit
and meaningful = i just stick a -v1 at the end and then up that number
at random intervals to get things like;
KhidmatSisters-poster-2014-Jan-v2
well not quite like that but it gives a rough idea.  If i'm
collaborating with other people then i tend to occasionally sweep all
those older versions into a sub-folder, along with all my images,
potential images, logos, notes from elsewhere and other clutter.  Then
a few months later i have a quick scroll through the sub-folder to see
if anything should be copied elsewhere and then delete the sub-folder.

Regards from
Tom :)
