File> Save Error Message: error saving the document <nomDoc> Error creating object Could not create backup copy Regards Pierre-Yves
Hello Pierre-Yves, I reproduce this behaviour with master LO 4.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 3e6853ae3e093b919ff3732e8fac05cb0a0fba5 on Windows 7 Home Premium Jacques Guilleron
Bug confirmed under Win XP x86. This is a REGRESSION from 4.0.3.3
Pierre-Yves, I apologize for suggesting the obvious, but I wonder ... Where do you save backup copies? ( Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Paths and find Type = Backups in the right pane ) Do you have permission to write there? Terry.
Hello (In reply to comment #3) > I apologize for suggesting the obvious, but I wonder ... It costs nothing to check :) > Do you have permission to write there? Yes I have write permissions, and as you can see, the bug was also reproduced on different systems. Regards Pierre-Yves
is the default backup directory actually missing, that's what I seem to see here locally
Yes. There's no backup directory in C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\LibreOfficeDev\4\user\backup Actual directory for backup is the same as document. Jacques Guilleron
Seems to be the missing backup dir. strangely enough if I blow away by config dir and try in the oldest 3.5 I've got, it also doesn't create a backup dir and I get the same message with that option toggled on, so I'm not entirely sure when its a regression from that the backup dir itself didn't get created. I mean, if you happen to have the dir it works.
