            Bug ID: 140964
           Summary: Feature improvement suggestion: selective document
                    recovery
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.6.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
I had several documents open, one of which had 3 hours of notes typed in.  A
new document I created caused LO to become unresponsive.  So I chose "force
quit".  When the recovery window appeared, there were several documents listed.
 I knew which one I didn't want, that had caused the problem.  However, there
was not actually an option to only discard the data for one file, and recover
the rest. That would be a good option to give - ie tick boxes to select which
files to recover, maybe default with all ticked. (yes, I lost all my work).

Actual Results:
n/a

Expected Results:
n/a


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I did have "autosave every 10 minutes" enabled, but because I chose discard
from the recovery menu, I have lost everything - I wasn't aware that would
happen.  Now I have also ticked "save a backup every time", but I guess that
also won't help unless I actually save the file.  Lesson learned - never choose
"discard" when there are several files on the list.
