Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 20005
Default name of export-file is not set bevore change the directory of the file-request-window.
Last modified: 2004-03-19 10:52:58 UTC
If I export from any application (not only the word processor, did not know which component to select for this issue) for example as PDF, the file-request- window does not contain a default name. But if I change the directory to anywhere, suddenly a default name equal to the document's name is set.
Seems to be fixed in RC5!
No it is NOT fixed!!! Sorry, the last comment is a mistake.
I can´t repeat this on with my OOo 1.1.0 on Win98. Please give step by step directions to reproduce.
Currently I cannot reproduce it myselfe, although I remember such situations. This is why I first thought it would be fixed, and than I found it again. You close this issue. If can reproduce later it I will re-open it.
I mean "you can close this issue", instead of "you close this issue". Sorry.
Stop! Don't close this issue! :-) Now I can reproduce it, but only with star-office samples. I have attached one. Please open it and then try to export it as PDF. You will see that there the filename is first empty, before changing the directory.
Created attachment 10320 [details] (staroffice) sample that produces the described problem
Thanks, Norbert2. As you said, the filename only appears after changing the directory. I will set it to NEW, with lowest priority.
Hi Norbert2, thanks for using OpenOffice... [I'm using Solaris here and can't see this...] It seems you're using the Windows-System-dialogs... Go to Tools -> Options -> General and make sure the Item "Use Openoffice dialogs" (or so) is checked, then Office uses its own dialogs which are able to do the desired behaviour... reassigned to mci
I hope the last comment helps you... If there's no new comment reporting this problem until 10/29/2003 we need to close the Issue... set to worksforme...
Well, the strange thing is that the behaviour of the window system dialogue in pdf export depends on whether the file originated in Writer or Staroffice. At least that´s what the reporter indicated. I can confirm the problem with his sample file. So it´s a matter of putting the blame on Windows (then close) or try to work out a solution within OOo (then reopen). It certainly doesn´t "workforme", however unimportant the problem may appear.
Use the OpenOffice dialogs and it works... ==> worksforme...
Not, not "worksforme". pinkernell is right. The problems are not the windows-dialogs, because they work correctly if the file was produced by openoffice instead of staroffice.
reassigned to tm @tm: Please have a look at this, we talked about it...
I want to note that this problem not only exists on the writer, it exists on the other oOO apps, too, if trying to open such a sample distributed with staroffice like the one I have attached here. But it only exists with windows-dialog, not if the oOO-dialog is selected! Now I will also attach screenshots of the file-requester to show what I mean.

TM->TRA: Please have a look. I can reproduce this problem, but MRU can´t. We´re both using WinXP and the same office version. ?!?
Hi *, I know how to reproduce the problem. A default export file name will be set if the directory containing the file has another sub directory and/or a file with the extension *.pdf else no default file name will be set. Isn't that crazy? Will have a look at it soon. Kind Regards, Tino *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 15530 ***
