Single click is fantastic. I don't understand why anyone would do it differently. Everything on the web is single click. Task bar items are single click. Menu items are single click.
KDE got single click right when Microsoft didn't.
So why would I not want a single unified experience? I don't accidently open anything, that is just nonsense.
Libre office is fine. You have no need to bash it. And it does have recovery files, this example is.... odd.
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.
I have had documents and spread sheets ruined by auto save. Let me decide the revision history.
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.
No. I disagree. I should be in control. I do things at times that I do not want saved. If you have auto save then the only way is with historical commits.
Auto save has fucked me over too many times. Leave it off.
The ONLY way I can see us both being satisfied is to start each document with a save location and asking save, or auto save on the first save.
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.
I do not like auto save. Why would it be an automatically?
I have a roku, and I gotta ask.... what ads? I think they run one on the side at the menu screen but I never even notice it. Because the only time i am on that screen is to get to a channelm
Then when something isn't playing it just goes to the aquarium screen saver.
What are you doing that had so many ads?
If you want to talk about how chatty the damn things are with their servers, yes that is an issue.
Uh, my server is an x86, is fanless and the cpu idles at 9 and maxes at 12. Is much faster then my pi and has quicksync.
I run plex, jellyfin, smb shares, mealie, tailscale and rerouting, notes, and books.
I like my pi but performance per watt isn't as drastic with x86 if you build for it. Did I mention it's also fanless? Passive heating that just works on the cpu.
Maybe I am ignorant, but report to who?
I guess below in another comment that was answered. Send it to their registrar.
Just tested in Word and revision history did no have several of the revisions a lot was lost. It is far worse in Excel. I will stick to manual saving. And I did that with an Enterprise account using business one drive.
Just as a sidenote: I am comfortable in Libre or Micsosoft Office, I have found good reasons for both over the years, and they both have auto recovery (which is the most important) and both can by autosave. But my preference is to manage my changes myself.
