Hi Michael, thank you for the answer - may be I should clarify that I did not post on this list because I wanted anybody to change something - I posted on this list because I thought may be someone can help me understand the whole text thingy a little better.
Yes, I know that the file dialogs are provided by the operating system, but if I am not mistaken, some aspects of the dialog (window title, field labels, ...) are parameterized by LO. The missing "File type:" label on linux (gnome) may well be a gtk error, in any case, this would be the wrong list (I just thought maybe someone knows about that probleme (or if that is intentional) - it's a missing text after all (I did not find any bug mentioning that missing text)). Thanks again and happy new year, Martin On Thu, 31 Dec 2015 16:15:09 +0000 Michael Bauer <f...@akerbeltz.org> wrote: > Hi Martin, > > In general I agree with the need for clarity in the UI but I think on > this occasion, I don't think this is a LO issue.
