I am running the 104 pre-2.0 beta release on linux and don't know whether this
issue exists in the other platform releases; however, it does exist in earlier
betas as well.
I often create "template" documents with names such as (for example)
donation_????????_2005-06-?? (with correct extension of course)
This is for either a writer doc or a spreadsheet.
When I try to do this (Save As>enter file name> hit save), the popup window
ignores my input until I select a filename it likes.
Unless this is an "undocumented feature", the programs should allow me to enter
any legal unix/linux filename. Instead (after going through some of the code)
it fails to match any existing filename and won't let me save under a name
containing the questionmark characters. (Haven't tried this with asterisks.
Hmmm.)
If I save the file under an "acceptable" file name, go to the shell prompt
(xterm, etc.) and rename it to the above name, then I can open it, work with it,
and save it normally, just as I would expect.
If there is a reason to limit savable file names like this, it needs to be
documented - if not, then it is a bug.
Otherwise, no real complaints at all :-) have used staroffice then openoffice
ever since so6.0 and really like it on both linux and solaris (intel and sparc).
Thanks.
(I won't try to guess the priority on this since a workaround exists. Sorry.)
