Description egbertk 2003-10-10 20:39:58 UTC 
It is OOo 1.1 in the German version (de). 
If I open a document (no matter if Writer, Calc, ...) through a symbolic link, 
edit it and try to save it, I get the error message "Sicherungskopie konnte 
nicht angelegt werden" (i.e. backup copy could not be created). 
 
A test case is very simple: 
1. create a document 
2. create a symbolic link to this document 
3. open the symbolic link with OOo 
4. edit this document 
5. save this document, you will get the error message 
 
This bug is new to OOo 1.1, it was not in StarOffice 6.0 (Service Pack 2) 
which is basically OOo 1.0x.

Confirmed with 1.1 (int'l version) on Redhat 9.0.
Comment 2 thorsten.martens 2003-10-15 10:42:00 UTC 
TM->FS:Looks like this one is the same as 21160 (the one we talked
about and I send to you). Please have a look.

I can confirm this for SuSE 9.0 with EN and DE of OOo 1.1.

accepting, targeting, and correcting priority
Comment 8 guy_davis 2004-02-16 18:28:58 UTC 
Reproduced using OOo 1.1 on Yellow Dog Linux (PPC) 3.0
Comment 9 Frank Schönheit 2004-04-23 13:00:04 UTC 
fs->mba: framework problem when storing the document?
Comment 10 Mathias_Bauer 2004-04-30 11:06:30 UTC 
Is this a bug of the file UCP or an OSL bug?
According to Hennes Rohling osl can resolve links (explicitly).
Comment 11 ajarmoniuk 2004-05-16 14:27:09 UTC 
I also have the problem described in the issue. However, it only occurs 
if I run OpenOffice 1.1 or 1.2 in Gnome, ie. the program reports that it 
cannot create a backup copy each time I try saving a file. 
 
When I try saving to symbolic links in KDE, it WORKS. 
 
Strange, isn't it?
Comment 12 egbertk 2004-05-16 17:40:45 UTC 
I had this error running OpenOffice.org in KDE.
Comment 13 rblackeagle 2004-05-16 22:16:06 UTC 
This happens with me using KDE and 1.1.2rc, except that I am not using symbolic 
links.  It is set to save in {HOME}/OpenOffice.org1.1.2/user/backup but when 
closing a file it gives the message that it could not create a backup copy.  
Still, the backup copy is stored there anyway.
Comment 14 ajarmoniuk 2004-05-18 01:20:13 UTC 
I have reinstalled Gnome (got the list of all packages, removed them, cleared
apt cache and installed again) and I am able to save to symbolic links witn OOo 1.1.

I don't know if it's the OO problem.
Comment 15 ajarmoniuk 2004-06-05 20:04:48 UTC 
It's a duplicate of http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=17061
The issue's been targeted to 2.0... :-S

I wish I could mark duplicates now.

Comment 17 ajarmoniuk 2004-06-30 12:42:36 UTC 
I could only reproduce this bug when using Nautilus from the new Gnome 2.6.
It worked ok with the old Nautilus, with xffm from XFCE and under KDE.
Comment 18 Mathias_Bauer 2004-11-09 08:33:09 UTC 
Stephan, please take this over. Andreas thinks that the problem is in the file
UCP, it uses the URL of the link, not the target of it. OSL seems to provide all
necessary functionality.
