Drew Parsons <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEEDINFO |UNCONFIRMED Ever confirmed|1 |0 --- Comment #28 from Drew Parsons <[email protected]> --- Hi Heiko, the documentation you linked to, "Changing Your Working Directory" https://help.libreoffice.org/25.8/en-US/text/shared/guide/workfolder.html and also "Paths" at https://help.libreoffice.org/25.8/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01010300.html they seem to be confusing the concepts of "working directory" and "default document directory". The instructions written there explain how to change the default document directory ("My Documents"). And the File Open dialog does show that default document directory. That's not the problem. Not every file that I'm working on is located in the "My Documents" directory. (To be honest, *none* of the documents I work on are located in "My Documents". My work is organised hierarchically, using different subdirectories for different tasks). Each file has its own working directory. In general they're not the same directory, and their various file-specific working directories are not the "My Documents" directory. What I'm expecting, and not seeing, is that when accessing Open in the context of a currently open file, that the File Dialog window will show the working directory of that current file, as least as an alternative that can be selected. The use-case is for opening other files within the same project related to the currently open file, where all these files are collected together in the same working directory. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
