------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Oct 2 02:17:52 +0000 2008 ------- I would like to be able to set separate default paths (under |Tools|Options|OpenOffice.org|Paths|) for each type of document (Writer, Calc, Impress, Base). As a heavy user of Microsoft Office for more than 10 years, I have so many of each type of files that I like to keep them segregated into their own directories under "My Documents". (I'm running Windows XP Home SP2.) I originally mentioned this as a 2nd comment in a bug-report I had filed (closed Issue 90463), and 'cornouws' didn't think it was a good idea, because the files ought to be separated by subject matter and not by file type. I can appreciate that. That's what we do where I now work - a separate folder for each client. But there are also many times where subjects don't seem predictable or users just don't have the time & patience to organize, and hundreds of documents from a dozen different programs all end up in one big mess in the 'My Documents' folder. At my last employer, that was the norm. Having the ability to set MS Office up on their computers and at least default all spreadsheets to an 'Excel' folder and all word-processing documents to a 'Word' folder helped a great deal. And having one default place for all my Access databases and nothing else also made life much easier. THAT's why I'd like to be able to set such defaults. The user wouldn't have to have separate folders if he didn't want to, and you can always override them and save your documents someplace else. But making those separate defaults possible at least provides a minimum level of organization - especially for those who accept Microsoft's default of hiding file extensions.
