Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 87124
File/Open dialog invoked from the Start Module silently ignores multiple-selection
Last modified: 2009-07-20 15:55:48 UTC
- in a running OOo, close all documents, so that only the Start Module is open - press the "Open an existing document" button => the file picker opens - browse to some arbitrary location - and select at least two files - press "Open" => the dialog is closed, but nothing happens This is different to when you invoke the file picker from the menu (File/Open), where multi selection is supported, too, and works as expected.
adding keyword "usability", targeting to 3.0.
fixed in CWS vcl87
pl->fs: thanks for verifying since OF is on vacation
looks good in CWS vcl87
*** Issue 87719 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
Since the issue 87719 is marked as duplicate to this issue, I report here. When I call the file open dialog from the 'Welcome to OOo-dev' start screen, I can't see any file filter for file types, as reported for 87719. The issue 87719 is closed and this issue 87124 is fixed, both issues related to DEV300m3, but the problem persists in DEV300m10 / Windows XP.
I can't confirm. My DEV300_m10 shows all file types in file picker when started in Start Center.
OK, here's a screenshot: no file types at all. Note, if I create an empty document, such a problem does not appear.

I've also tried to switch to OOo open/save dialogs instead of system, but the problem persists in that case too.
Have you removed you're User Settinngs in '..\Application Data\'?
I've copied to OOo3 directory my user settings from OOo2. Does that matter? Do I need to remove/correct something?
It might matter. Just rename your OOo 3.x user folder and retry.
I've tried that (renamed my user directory and let OOo create a new one with the default settings), but it did not help: still no file types in the picker.
Somebody has an idea what goes wrong here?
This issue is closed automatically and wasn't rechecked in a current version of OOo. The fixed issue should be integrated in OOo since more than half a year. If you think this issue isn't fixed in a current version (OOo 3.1), please reopen it and change the field 'Target Milestone' accordingly.
