------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed Jun 24 03:32:29 +0000 2009 ------- This is MOST DEFINITELY a defect. It is exactly what I wrote about in Issue 102756 on 6/14/09, which has now been closed as a "duplicate of 68223. (It appears to me that 68223 is a related, but different bug.) I had an existing template named "ltr.PersTemplate.ott". It lives at: c:\Documents and Settings\Tim\Application Data\OpenOffice.org\3\user\template\" When I decided to create the new template, I navigated to that directory, opened that .ott file, and then chose |File|Save As| to rename it as a template filetype to "ltr.PersTemplate5x8.ott" (making sure it got saved in that same directory). I then made my changes and saved it again (not 'save as', just 'save'). On the 14th, I started Writer and clicked on the dropdown arrow beside the NewFile icon (first icon on the left), then chose |Templates and Documents|. I immediately knew something was wrong, because the "ltr.PersTemplate5x8.ott" template name was not in the list. I then selected the original "ltr.PersTemplate.ott" template. But what opened was a new document based on the "..5x8.." template. I then navigated back to the directories the two templates live in. Both files were still there. I opened both files and started looking thru the Properties of both files. I also used Windows Explorer to check the properties of both files. What I found was that in both files the "Title" field shown in the Description tab of the window that appears when you click |File|Properties| still showed the original template file's name. (The correct filenames appeared in all other 'Properties' locations I found.) In the "..5x8.." file, I changed that field to its proper filename, saved it, and closed both template files. I then went back to the dropdown arrow beside the NewFile icon, chose |Templates and Documents| again, and now both templates appeared in the file list. And clicking on each name now opened a new doc with the contents of the proper template. Basing the list of templates in the |Templates and Documents| list on an internal "title" field rather than on the actual template file names is an invitation to corruption. Most users are never going to even be aware that the "title" field exists, much less be aware that they need to change it. So if OOo is going to use that field, then not automatically changing the "title" field to agree with the actual filename is indeed a defect. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
