Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15668
"Save As" filling filename with different, existing file
Last modified: 2004-10-22 13:45:53 UTC
Open a ss, "Save As...", pre-filled filename will be a different file from the current directory. Did not explore enough to find out how it was choosing, or if sometimes it got it right. This showed up for me saving as .xls format, nearly overwrote another important doc!

scratch that. This is not a duplicate of .15647
Hi Thorsten, I've reproduced the problem. Because of the shared code this can't be a spreadsheet issue. Please have a look.
Not reproducible in a more recent build like a RC3 anymore. Therefore I set this issue to worksforme. Please feel free to reopen this issue if it occurs in a more recent build again and give some additional information about how to reproduce it.
Well, maybe is should be transferred to writer, as I am only able to reproduce this now on .sxw files. version is 1.1rc4
Need more information about how to reproduce this behaviour. In a RC5 (Final) these problems are still not reproducible. Please provide a complete walkthrough where every step and mouseclick are mentioned.

OK. This is in 1.1.0... Create an empty directory for the test. Save all files in this test there. % oowriter Type 'aaa' File/Save (give it the name aa.sxw) File/New/Text Document Type 'bbb' File/Save As... (navigate to the dir, if needed) dialog box has 'File name' pre-filled with 'aa.sxw' You can now save this as 'bb.sxw', and doing another 'Save As...' will result in the 'File name' field still being pre-filled with 'aa.sxw'.
Oops. This isn't exactly right. You have to save 'bb.sxw' first, then do a 'Save As..' with that file. Also, this still happens with oocalc, same scenario... Updated scenario: Create an empty directory for the test. Save all files in this test there. % oowriter Type 'aaa' File/Save (give it the name aa.sxw) File/New/Text Document Type 'bbb' File/Save (navigate to the dir, if needed - name it bb.sxw) File/Save As... dialog box has 'File name' pre-filled with 'aa.sxw'
Just tried to reproduce this problem in a OOo1.1RC5 and it wasn´t reproducible. When trying to save a document via save/as with a different name, the previous given name is preselected without extension. (eg. save/as aa.sxw.... then aa is preselected in field filename). That´s OK ! When creating a new file and save/as is choosen, the user needs to travel to the target folder and no preselection in the field filename is done.
OK, try this. Before running the above scenario, set things up so that the Save dialog is sorted by date modified... If I sort by name I see what you are describing, if I sort by date modified, I see this bug...
TM->FS: As shown and talked about... it´s reproducible if you click on "date modified" and having no subfolders in the target folder.
targeting for 2.0 (it's too easy for the user to overwrite the wrong files), and accepting
fixed in CWS dba12
reopening QA
fs->tm: please verify in CWS dba13 (http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/servlet/cws.ShowCWS?Id=1349&Path=SRC680%2Fdba13)
argh. The CWS is dba12, not dba13. Sorry.
Checked and verivied in cws dba12 -> OK !
Verified !
This is still happening in 1.1.3 To be clear, it seems to require that the file selection dialog be sorted on something other than "Title", and there are no folders in the default save-to folder. In fact, if you have it sorted by Title, and click to sort by another column, the previously correct filename will be replaced with an incorrect one.
Problem has been fixed in a 680 build ! See milestone (OOo 2.0) ! Therefore it will still occur in 1.1.3 !
