I can confirm the behaviour reported on x86_64 and x86 versions of Mageia and Mandriva, with different LibreOffice versions up to 4.0 pre-releases, under different desktops (xfce and lxde): a) With the option LibreOffice => General -> Open/Save dialogs -> [X] Use LibreOffice dialogs activated, new paths are added as expected. b) With that option de-activated, all attempts to add new template, gallery etc. paths end in the HOME directory being added. Replacing the new $(home) entry in the corresponding .xcu file manually does not seem to have any effect. c) Uninstalling a libreoffice-gnome package, where it exists, removes the option mentioned above entirely and results in a working configuration. On Mageia (Cauldron), there is no libreoffice-gnome package though; the relevant files are part of libreoffice-core and cannot be de-installed. d) Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1 has the same behaviour; so this bug probably goes back to common ancestors and is not at all new.

Select Templates , then select Edit… Select Add… and add a path which is not the home directory. The path added is /home/<user>, irrespective of the path selected. This appears to be an instance of upstream bug https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55323, which describes the same behaviour *when the LibreOffice dialogs are not used* (See comment 6 "…I just found out that this bug only occurs if I don't use the LibreOffice dialogs for opening and saving files…." The impact is that there appears to be no way of setting any path to anything other than the installation defaults. Ubuntu is 12.10, LibreOffice is Version 3.6.2.2 (Build ID: 360m1(Build:2)), desktop is gnome-session-fallback 3.6.0-0ubuntu1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/1085310/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
