Re: [libreoffice-users] Save auto recovery information

It is an interesting discussion.
A while back auto-save was losing my images from the document, now that 
seems well and fixed.
I have a UPS with 15 mins. or more reserve to give me plenty of time to 
save when the beeping starts, and LO seems so stable now, my multiple 
documents can sit open for a week or more and I cannot remember the last 
crash/hangup. I almost wonder if I can turn auto-save off.
