Is it possible to set Writer (or all of the Libreoffice variants) to save and close automatically when the computer has been ordered to shutdown?
Libreoffice is very good about recovering documents when I forget to do this, but I’d sooner avoid the necessity!
Thanks!
It shouldn’t be done. Saving files can sometimes take tens of seconds; and Windows may simply terminate applications that don’t shutdown gracefully in about 5 seconds. If that happens when the app is writing files, there could be data corruption.
I should have specified that I usually use Linux. I am tempted to make a rude remark about Windows, but I see that this objection might apply equally well to Linux.
I would have expected that any operating system would delay its shutdown to deal with necessary housekeeping–but yes, I should be prepared to do some housekeeping myself!
