Rending issue in Desktop Editors

Hi,
Yes it’s possible to move data to the main drive, but I have ALL of my data on a separate drive, almost 2 TB. I use files from various folders day in and day out, so the only way to know if an experiment works is to move it all. Since I don’t want to do this, doing an experiment is a moot point.
I’ve been trying to keep fewer files open in tabs at once, but it can be a hassle because I often revert back and forth with multiple documents when I’m working.
I will see how it goes now after switching off the graphic acceleration; no issues yet in a couple of days.

Yes to renaming files, after a full editor crash. After the crash, files show as read-only, that I must rename to same new data. When it crashed this last time I had 6 files open in the tabs.
Other editor software I’ve used have a full recovery that is available when first opening the editor after a crash.

I came to OnlyOffice with the idea that it may operate with less resources than the OpenOffice I’ve been using for many years. I’m using a laptop now so using a lot of resources keeps the fans running a lot. But there may be nothing to help this. It is a fairly high-powered cpu and 64gb of ram. Anyway, that’s just some background info.

Hi again,

I had a second thought about the testing data from the main drive, so I might do it, but will wait a few days to see if the graphics acceleration switching off solved the issue.

In that time do you open the file directly from explorer (file manager) or from main screen of Desktop Editor? Basically, the point of interest is: after the crash (complete closure of the app) opened files with their changes are placed under Recover files section on the main screen – that is why I am interested to know how the file is being opened after the crash.

Hi,
I think I know now what you are talking about, that I didn’t know existed. Under ‘Open Recent’, there is a separate listing for Recovered files. I first noticed this yesterday, as apparently there was still a couple of files listed.
If it’s on the Main Screen, what I see when first opening, I missed it. Where should it be?
But, I had opened files from my computer file list, so didn’t see it… and there is no indication outside of opening ‘Open Recent’ to indicate it exists… now I know.
It does look like the files get recovered when opening this way.
But, the message popup message showing in a doc after opening a doc through any other location only offers the rename instruction.
Why is there not a message in the editor when it is first opened after a crash that either instructs how best to recover and open a crashed file, or a link that goes to the location inside of ‘Open Recent’?

And still no issue again with the rendering after turning off graphics acceleration.

Hi again,
The saga / mess continues…

Why are all these folders noted with “lock” when only one of them is open in the editor?
Some are files names of files I deleted after renaming the file to comply with the instructions, now this mess.

And why do some of the names in the editor document tabs have an asterisk and others not?

Yes, I know these are all different issues, but I need help in one place, not in a bunch of separate posts… thank you.

Hi,

There’s more!

Why do I keep getting this message? … way after I’ve cleaned up the mess from the last crash a few days ago… I think!

Almost everything I open, I have to rename and resave… then go in and delete the previous!
…What?

A mess, wasting time!

Hi,

Now every folder I open I must either Rename or replace the existing.
Very odd behavior.

Is there someone who can fix this, this communicating here is not doing any good?
Or I will dump this weird app.

John

Open any folder with a file that prompts this window about read-only – do you see any lock files there? You may need to enable display of hidden files to see them.
