Title:
LibreOffice: the default file path for storing documents, does not
take into account the localization of the system
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I've found a bug , which happens when you install LibreOffice in
Xubuntu or Lubuntu 12.04. In Ubuntu and Kubuntu 12.04 this same bug
takes a different shape; more about that later.
The default path for storing documents, does not take into account the
localization of Xubuntu. The name "Documents" is not translated in
accordance with the localization of the system.
So the path is always (e.g.) "/home/pjotr/Documents", whereas it
should be (in my Dutch localized system) "/home/pjotr/Documenten".
This causes the documents to be stored in the main user folder, in my
case "/home/pjotr".
In Ubuntu and Kubuntu the file path is wrong, too: in a Dutch
localized system, it becomes "/home/pjotr/Documenten/Documents". As
the final folder in the path does not exist, documents will be stored
by LO in the right place, namely the first folder in the path that
does exist, in this case "/home/pjotr/Documenten". It's still a
configuration error, though...
