Description Victor Sigal 2012-10-21 13:05:20 UTC
For example File-Template-Save - is saving template into default location for all template. 
But File-Template-Edit - is trying to open default "My Documents" location, where is not template. 

I know it is exist possibility to edit template by File-Template-Organize-'right click Edit', and it is opening Template in proper location. 
So may be need to delete File-Template-Edit in this case?

I cannot reproduce it on Linux: File - Template - Edit opens the path that is set under Tools - Options - OpenOffice - Paths - Templates:

$HOME/.openoffice.org/3/user/template

Sorry. Changed from All OS to Windows 7 on which it was tested.

Did you try with the system dialog or with OpenOffice dialog?
You can choose which to use in the Tools - Options dialog, OpenOffice - General.

Hi Agree 
In System menu in case check "Use OpenOffice dialog" this problem does not exist. 


But by default this option is unchecked and could confuse users. 

Thank you.

I couldn't reproduce it with Windows XP: the system dialog opens in the directory 

C:\Documents and Settings\ariel\Datos de programa\OpenOffice.org\3\user\template

I'll try with Windows 7

On Windows 7 the system dialog opens with the *last* used directory.
Can you confirm that?

In File - Templates - Edit, if I select a document from a folder other than the default templates directory, and other than "My Document", the next time the dialog opens with that initial directory.

Hi

I confirmed it on Windows 7.
In case of 'Use OpenOffice dialog' is uncheked.
'File-Template-Edit' opening 'last used' directory.

I insist that 'File-Template-Edit' should not work like this. 

Or at least by default setting 'Use OpenOffice dialog' should be "On" by default.
