--- Comment #5 from [email protected] --- This is really easy to duplicate: 1. In Writer, do whatever it is you do to create a document from a template. I don't know so I just used the template manager, opened zklManualTemplate made some changes and did a "save as" templateTest.fodt. 2. Confirm properties shows the template. In my case "zklManualTemplate" 2. Open the templateTest.fodt in a text editor such as gedit, search for "template". I find xlink:href="ZKL/Doc/Manual/zklManualTemplate.ott" 3. Close and move templateTest.fodt to another directory. 4. Writer: manage templates, edit zklManualTemplate.ott. Make a zero change, save. 5. Open a file in the original document to verify you see the "update styles" dialog. 6. Open templateTest.fodt and notice you *DON'T* see the "update styles" dialog. templateTest.fodt is now disconnected from the template. There is *NO* way for me to know that, Properties continues to say "Template: zklManualTemplate", the only way *I* know how is to look in the fodt and go "hmmm, that relative path no longer points to the template". Which is fine, it's on me that I moved the file and didn't use a sanctified location (although zklManualTemplate.ott *IS* in *a* Tools/Options/Paths/Templates path (not the default, jeez, can't you just search them all like $PATH does?). All I'm asking for is a heads up "yo, we couldn't find this template, want to change it?". Having Properties print the entire path in red with a suggestion to use the template change extension would be fine. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
