Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 107337
Give more options if there's not enough disk space (don't save backup, save at a different location...)

The modal message saying "OpenOffice.org couldn't save important internal information because of lack of disk space at %APPDATA%\OpenOffice.org\3\user\backup" is nice. Expecting you to free space out of magic is not. The app should give more options than "Retry". I have enough free memory. Let me continue without saving a backup at my own risk. Or give me the option to point you to a different partition where you can store it. At the very last option, if I can't give OOo more disk space, I should be able to close it gracefully. Now, the only option is to kill it. Which shouldn't have been needed in the first place. Interestingly, when opening the application, the same message appears, but clicking retry allows you to continue as if it got more space.
under tools->OpenOffice.org->Paths you can change the partition
