------- Additional comments from ske...@openoffice.org Sat Jan 23 00:53:16 +0000 2010 ------- Performing File/'Export as PDF' opens a dialog where you select the pages to be exported. Then another dialog box is opened where you indicate where the pdf file is to be saved. Prior to 3.1.1 it opened a dialog box where the current directory is shown. There was a field where I could paste in a long path where I wanted to save the file. By pasting the DIRECTORY name and hitting 'enter', the dialog box would then display the contents of the target directory. I could then select one of the target files. That name would appear in the type-in box. I could then modify the timestamp portion of the file name or add the required annotation to indicate change bars, final, draft, etc. before hitting save. Now when I paste in the directory name, it attempts to write a file with the same name as the document I'm editing but changes the extension to ".pdf". It then asks if I want to overwrite the file. I answer "no" because I don't want that file name, I want to select the next in the sequence of file names that are in the *other* target directory, and then modify it as required by my companies naming scheme. Give the user BACK the option of choosing the target directory, viewing the directory, selecting, and then editing the destination file name before saving the file. No, I do not want to click through the file hierarchy, as I have to do this a lot. No, I do not want to have to wait for the contents of intermediate directories to be displayed (some of them are quite large). I do not want to have to wade through those directory listings just to find the sub-directory name that I want to skip through. I have to do this for every chapter of the document I'm trying to create PDFs for. Please, either put the dialog back the way it was, or provide an option so that users can select the old behavior. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
