--- Comment #4 from Hein Zelle <hein.ze...@bmtargoss.com> 2011-12-29 04:19:47 PST --- This bug is present in pretty much all "save as" or "file open" dialogs. It's old: already existed in early openoffice.org versions. I'll open a separate bug for different dialogs if that is better - please let me know. Below are a couple of cases that exhibit similar behaviour: LibreOffice remembers the last used directory for a certain action, which is very often the WRONG directory. It would be better, in my opinion, to start from the directory of the current document OR the current working directory when libreoffice was started from the commandline. Alternatively, it would make sense to only remember these folders during a session and forget them when the program is closed. Or, make it optional. Examples (I'm sure there are more): 1) File/open dialogs (for instance: insert picture from file) remember the last directory from which I have inserted a picture. Very often this has nothing to do with the current document. It takes a lot of effort to navigate back to the folder where the current document is. I suggest in this case to use the folder of the currently opened document as a starting point opening new files such as images. Possibly, after this folder has been changed _within the current session_, it could be remembered for the current document. 2) File->Open does a similar thing, but it remembers a DIFFERENT directory than insert->picture->from file. 3) file->save on a new document has a similar problem when started from commandline: go to directory a/b/c, start libreoffice (new document), save -> suggests home directory instead of a/b/c 4*) "File->Save As" DOES show the proper behaviour, starting at the current document's directory. It does not remember the last selected dir, apparently. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
