<pre>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.</pre>
