Bug ID: 160130
Summary: Writer TEMPLATE #2: save as template, templates should
not be based on templates (in the name of
transparency)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]

hi,
This is actually a bug, I believe...
You open a template, say, "base-23.ott",
and save it as template, "base-24"...
Oops...
I couldn't write save it as "base-24.ott"...
cause when you save it as template, you actually save it under a template
name...
to be enhanced:
#1. When you save a document or template as a template,
you should save it as a file... with a filename...
and see all other templates in your template directories...
just like as it happens when you save a document among other documents...
#2. when you save a document or a template as a template,
the new template's properties shouldn't have a template record...
a template is a template.... something that documents are based on...
not something that's based on other templates or documents...
- - -
additionally,
we should consider making sure that the act of saving a document or template as
template
works the exact same way whatever way we go about it...
via File / templates / save as template
or File / save as / "base-24-A5.ott"... (for example)
or anything else... (by renaming or copying in file manager)
- - - thank you for developing Libreoffice and Writer - - -
to be cont....
