How? How is this terrible? Why should autosave be expected? I absolutely do not like autosave. No thanks. It is an unusual behaviour, why would anyone expect it to do this?
That said, it is really weird that it didn't recover. I have never hard Libre office not recover from a computer outage or even a forced shutdown. That is unexpected.
You're weird. Autosave is the norm in 2024. It's not unusual at all, and helps in the most important of use cases; accidental non-saving. It was the norm a decade ago.
I do support challenging the software design before blaming the user, but I feel like I'm being thrown through a bit of a loop here. Autosave, while not unusual, is still the minority behaviour - surely?
I'm checking through tools I have installed and can't find much that autosaves - even Word (tested editing a local file) doesn't seem to autosave as far as I can tell. And, to be fair to the software, I often don't want to overwrite the disk copy automatically (though there are some "best of both worlds" approaches, like with VSCode).
I would have sworn that autosave was enabled by default in absolutely every software that has anything to save since like the 2000s, you're throwing me on a loop here.
As far as text editors actually, i feel like they may be constantly saving, particularly if they're cloud-based. But i've been using LibreOffice for a while so i wouldn't know. (and yes i did have to enable autosave)
Possible that we're thinking about different features? Like for Microsoft Word, if I save a file to disk, make an edit, then exit out without saving (hitting "cancel" when it asks if I want to save) the disk copy is left untouched. That's how the most tools work as far as I'm aware. It does have crash recovery (which may or may not work better than LibreOffice's crash recovery, no idea).
Some editing software will use a copy of your file as extended memory, so it is always caching to disk. That can be slow, so some don't do it for small files. I am thinking of Linux tools like vi and vim.
No it isn't.
And in the case of Word and Excel it only is enabled if you have One Drive, Office 365 subscription, or Sharepoint Online. And all of that started in 2023. Google Docs auto saves - which follows the pattern of needing to deal with state changes since the document is not local.
None of my local apps auto save. Some do auto recovery, but they are temp files until closed. This is not the norm in 2024.
What you refer to as auto recovery is what I mean as auto save. Even your email clients do it. I will concede if you can see the value of auto recovery.
Ok but what's your argument against autosave? You haven't made one?
Autosave has screwed me over many times. Not all changes I make need saving. Not all drives are always present during a save.
I have worked up what if scenarios and had it auto save, and now the document is missing the original.
I prefer to manage my own revisions.
Yea same here, I see autosave as a side effect. I want to be in control of my increments
