Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 104971
PDF button truncates file names with "#"
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:55:45 UTC
When I save an .odp file with the name "Eng.103.Week.#1.odp," Impress automatically truncates the file name to "Eng.101.Week.pdf." But it does not truncate the file name "Eng.103.Week.1.odp." The "#" seems to be the problem.
I checked with "Ooo 3.1.0 WIN XP DE-multilingual version German UI activated [OOO310m11 (Build 9399)]" (using OS dialogs) and can confirm (more or less) the reported effect. WRITER also affected, other OOo apps. not tested. Using OS dialogs, you can save a document as "xxx.xxx.xxxxx.#1.oxx", but Export will truncate the name to "xxx.xxx.xxxxx.pdf", pls. see attached screenshots with comments. You can add missing ".#1" in export dialog without any problems. Not only PDF export is affected, also other document types (png ...) "Automatic file name extension" is without influence OOo dialogs will not accept "Eng.103.Week.#1.odp" as a valid name because of the "#". Difference between save as and export dialog is at least inconsistent. I do not see high priority for this. @therealorion: I believe in your report "Eng.103.Week.#1.odp," should be "Eng.103.Week.#1.odp"? "Eng.101.Week.pdf." should be "Eng.101.Week.pdf"? "Eng.103.Week.1.odp." should be "Eng.103.Week.1.odp"?
@ hi: Please have a look.
Yes, that is a typo in my initial post. Very sorry. Didn't mean to confuse the issue (so to speak).
