When I go into LibreOffice documents, I am shown an index of recent docs I saved, latest first, as small page-image icons. Today a new Version of the LibreOffice suite was downloaded and auto applied when I went on. Is that why the index of recent saved docs was wiped clean and begun again?
should not be.
although a regular backup is recommended.
