@waymonc: I'm sorry, but I don't understand your problem. Please first read our guidelines on <http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/pre_submission.html> and <http://www.openoffice.org/bugs/bug_writing_guidelines.html>, then contribute a clear step by step instruction containing every key press and every mouse click how to reproduce the problem. Do you really only see that problem with WRITER or also CALC? Framework issue. A link is a pointer to a file or directory, or in windows parlance, a shortcut. Create a shortcut that points to a directory and try to use the OpenOffice navigation box to get to a sub subdirectory under that link (shortcut). That's where it doesn't work. For example create a shortcut in the My Documents directory that points to the Shared Documents directory. Then try to navigate to a sub-directory in the Shared Documents directory through the link. That's where it doesn't work. Hope that helps. @waymonc:
No, unfortunately your comment was not helpful, because you did not heed the
hints in the guidelines and my requests.
I tried to find about what the report might be and did a test as following with
"2.0.2 German version WIN XP: [680m5(Build9011)]".
waymonc, pls. tell us whether that is the problem you wanted to report.
1. Open WIN EXPLORER for "My Documents" or similar
2. rightclick - NEW - Link
3. search for an existing OOo file
4. Create Link with name "Test1" and finish
5. rightclick - NEW - Link
6. search for an existing OOo file like in step 3
7. delete filename from complete link, so that only '...\somedirectory\'
remains - so you get a link to a directory
8. Create Link with name "Test2" and finish
9. Test link "Test1" by doubleclick in WIN explorer
as expected, the OOo document will be opened
10. Test link "Test2" by doubleclick in WIN explorer
as expected, EXPLORER window changes to directory that contains the
OOo document
11. Start OOo
12. Menu "Tools - OpenOffice.org - General"
Uncheck "Use OOo-Dialogues", if it is checked
13. Close dialogue
14. Menu "File Open"
15. Change to folder "My Documents" from Step 1
16. Doubleclick Link "Test1"
expected: the linked OOo document should be opened
actual: as expected.
17. Menu "File Open"
18. Change to folder "My Documents" from Step 1
19. Doubleclick Link "Test2"
20. expected: EXPLORER window should change to linked folder
actual: as expected.
21. Menu "Tools - OpenOffice.org - General"
CHECK "Use OOo-Dialogues"
22. REDO starting with step 13
Expected: all should work as with WIN dialogues
Actual: "Test1" will open the dialogue for "Coded Text"
"Test2" will open the dialogue for "Coded Text"
You have a similar effect for "save as": "Test2" will lead to the directory only if "use OOo dialogues" is unchecked. Due to "Additional comments from rainerbielefeld Thu Aug 31 06:31:42 -0700 2006" with amended subject and because of Issue 55843 *** Issue 55843 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** TM->requirements: OOo´s own file-dialogs don´t have the ability to open/follow up links. So this issue is not a defect because the problem describes a missing feature. So I set this one to "enhancement". How do I sign off on this issue (using the windows dialogs worked)? |
