Description catherine 2021-03-12 00:25:47 UTC
Description:
I had several documents open, one of which had 3 hours of notes typed in.  A new document I created caused LO to become unresponsive.  So I chose "force quit".  When the recovery window appeared, there were several documents listed.  I knew which one I didn't want, that had caused the problem.  However, there was not actually an option to only discard the data for one file, and recover the rest. That would be a good option to give - ie tick boxes to select which files to recover, maybe default with all ticked. (yes, I lost all my work).

Actual Results:
n/a

Expected Results:
n/a


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I did have "autosave every 10 minutes" enabled, but because I chose discard from the recovery menu, I have lost everything - I wasn't aware that would happen.  Now I have also ticked "save a backup every time", but I guess that also won't help unless I actually save the file.  Lesson learned - never choose "discard" when there are several files on the list.
