Where is "Automatically save the document too"?

I am on Debian Unstable, using LibreOffice:
Version: 5.0.1.2.0+
Build ID: 00m0(Build:2)

I want LibreOffice to automatically save my documents as I am editing them, and not just the auto recovery data. I believe there should be a “Automatically save the document too” feature in the Options/Load-Save/General dialogue. There is this in the documentation:

Automaticall save the document too
Specifies that LibreOffice saves all open documents when saving auto recovery information. Uses the same time interval as AutoRecovery does.

https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/General_6

However in my system this option is missing. Any clues?

Thanks!

Upgrade to 5.0.2.2 !

I have. 5.0.2.2 now. Still the same problem: This feature is missing from the dialog box.

Hi AmirM

Not present in the 5.x series.

Is Present in the 4.x series. (you can see it below under the Autorecovery checkbox)

I have zero idea why, nor why it was removed in the 5.x series.

If this helps then please tick the answer (:heavy_check_mark:)

…and/or show you like it with an uptick ()

Thanks, I don’t yet have enough points to upvote. :slight_smile:

Which version of libreoffice was the last one that had this option? I just closed without saving a document that I was editing for hours, cause I thought that I was closing another one. The autosaving option was always there for these things.

Why don’t you let the option stating (not stable) or something like this.

Anyway, to be practical; Does anybody know which was the last versiin that had this option enabled? I am so dissapointed that I want to install the old- but useful for me- version.

Here is the reason.

The feature never worked correctly and they removed it in 5.x.

Thanks! This is disappointing but at least now I know.
(Hint: The bug report you linked also shows that this is still actually available in the Expert Config dialog, albeit allegedly not working correctly (-: )
