Re: [libreoffice-users] a pet peeve with LO Writer

What happens when you set the option from 10 to 5 minutes?  The problem 
may stem from how does LibreOffice know where you were in the document 
before it "crashed".  That info must be saved somewhere outside the 
recovery document.


What do you call a "large document"?

It is nice to hear that others use the the auto-recovery.  I have needed 
it many times.

To be honest, I forgot all about this option since I have not needed it 
since the 5.1.x line.
