Description HTK300 2024-08-21 07:17:06 UTC
Description:
consider you have several files and explorer windows open and would like to quickly shutdown your computer/laptop, you wouldn't close all the Windows prior to a shutdown. If a LibreOffice CALC file (probably applies to WRITER files as well) is still one of those open windows, then at the next Windows startup, this file is being presented again to be recovered, even you are sure you have already saved it prior to the previous shutdown of Windows

Steps to Reproduce:
1. work on a CALC file
2. save the file
3. do not close the file thereafter
4. press the power button on the computer/laptop
5. restart your computer and wait until the startup has completed
6. a popup window from LibreOffice appears suggesting to recover a file that has definately been saved bevore the shutdown.

Actual Results:
a popup window from LibreOffice appears suggesting to recover a file that has definately been saved bevore the shutdown.

Expected Results:
I don't need/expect LO to remind me/recover a file which - once recovered - shows no sign of having been modified since last saving.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
there is no help topic in the online help about recover*

Do you also reproduce this, if you kill the LibreOffice task via Task Manager? I did not reproduce just now, after changing "Save AutoRecovery information" setting to 1 minute in Tools - Options - Load/Save - General and making sure 1 minute had passed after saving the Calc file.

Hi,
I have intentionally turned off the 'auto-saving' feature for a reason that I handle files of extensive size and not only one of such. Those files are typically about 5-7 MB each. Manually saving them at the time of my best practice helps me to spare me the time when auto-saving hits me while trying to work. It is absolutely impossible to work while saving has commenced for at least 50-70 seconds for each of the files which may occur twice time the interval being set.

To get to your request, well, I am not sure I grasp the method you want me to try to replicate.. I will now do several procedures and get back to you shortly.

Here is what I encountered:

a) the phenomena initially mentioned is still there

b) I must mention that I utilize the tiny little startup booster called quickstart.exe (see screenshot)

c) by using this accelerator LibreOffice starts a lot quicker than without when opening the first LO file after a reboot

d) with the quickstart.exe being present in the background and initiating a hard shut down, the recovery message pops up at the next boot, even both my files WRITER and CALC were saved but open in the foreground (see screenshot)

e) without the quickstart.exe being active in the background when shutting down again with the LO files still, no recovery message pops up

f) of course there is no recovery pop up once I closed my files prior to a hard shutdown



hope this helps to further investigate.
