The total editing time of a file is no longer updated as of some update of the 3.5 branch. I went straight from 3.5.1, where it worked, to 3.5.4, where it no longer did, so I can't tell whether this bug first appeared in 3.5.2, 3.5.3 or 3.5.4, but it definitely still exists in 3.6.1. (Only noticed it now because I don't usually check file properties.)
Bug still exists in 3.6.3, tested again now that I updated from 3.6.2 (where of course it still existed), both on new and existing files. The only change is that previously new files started with a certain, apparently rather random, number of seconds recorded while now they seem to start correctly at 0, but that's the only change, no increase in time no matter how long you edit or how many times you save (save count increases correctly though). Should also note, seeing as this is still "unconfirmed", that this is now on a completely new install (Windows and of course LO as well), so can't be an issue of something having gone wrong with a previous install and the error being carried over through updates. And "Apply user data" is checked. Saying this because I remember that when I originally submitted this, there was another bug report (which I can't find anymore) stating that this happens when that's not checked.
Hi Robert, in bug 53035 I described a bug that sounds equal to your problem. Can you please either check this or write down a step by step procedure of your problem, that I can check this. According my report the bug does not depend on specific LO versions. It depends on the state of the option "LibreOffice > Security > Options... > Remove personal information on saving", when the document is created. Thanks for your support.
Created attachment 71568 [details] Option not checked.
Sorry, just looked now (registered with an e-mail I don't actively use, since it's linked to directly here). Yes, that was the report I was referring to when I said that about "apply user data", seem to have remembered wrong and couldn't find it anymore, but that's not the case, see attachment. Strangely, have recently had it intermittently update the total editing time, but just a few times and I can't find any pattern. And it definitely worked fine up to 3.5.1 and quite certain it stopped working after the update to 3.5.4.
so, should we label this report as a duplicate of Bug 53035? does it works with recente 4.0.x versions?
Agree with what tommy27 suggests. This looks like a dupe to 53035. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 53035 ***
