Description Jens 2023-09-30 08:40:37 UTC
Description:
1. Load a file using Webdav (eg XLSX file)
2. Edit it, do not save
3. Crash Libreoffice so that it freezes and has to be SIGKILLed
4. Restart Libreoffice
5. It will ask whether to recover file and claim success in doing so
   (before that, it'll ask for the master password to unlock the WebDAV location)

Expected:
It'll then show me my file as it was before I SIGKILLed it

Actual:
It showed the file as it was on the WebDAV share when last saving it

Result:
the autorecovery procedure is not usable with files on WebDAV shares.


Steps to Reproduce:
see above

Actual Results:

NB: The OS was autofilled by Libreoffice as "Mac OS X (All)", which this form claims doesn't exist. I removed it.

Thank you Jens.
7.4 has reached end of life, and autoSave / autoRecovery improvements are coming to LibreOffice 24.2.

Could you please:
- test the same thing with a daily build and report if anything has changed? https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html (it will install alongside a stable installation – which I also recommend updating in any case)
- share the full information copied from LibreOffice > About.

There is also bug 98576 and bug 151708 that might be relevant.

Thank you!
