Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 58608
Application specific open dialog to point to different work-directory
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:43:33 UTC
When a file is opened or saved to a work-directory by an oo-application. Then if a file is opened with the open dialog by another oo-application, the open dialog points to the directory, where a former file operation with another application is made. Eg. When I have a directory D:/Text and I store a text-file in it with the oo- writer, then if I want to open a file by oo-calc, the open-dialog points to D:/Text although I saved a calc-file formerly in a D:/Calc directory with oo- calc. The open dialogs of the different oo-applications should manage the directories separately to make it easier when separate directories for each oo-application are used.
according to http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/workflowcharts/RFE_issues_by_QA.sxd I reassign this issue to requirements and set the status to new
I agree. It would be really nice, if there was the possibility to set a default working directory for each component (writer, calc etc.) separately.
