Bug ID: 85458
Summary: Missing Message that Template Can not be Saved due to
Missing Access Rights
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.3.1.2 release
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Libreoffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
In order to reproduce do:
[1] Start LibreOffice and open Options dialogue.
[2] Go to “LibreOffice > Paths” and add a read-only folder to the Templates
paths. (E. g. you can use any program folder, which only can be modified with
administration rights. Of course in this case you should not be the
administrator.)
[3] Mark the added folder as default path for new files.
[4] Close the Options dialogue with OK.
[5] Create new Writer document and insert some text.
[6] Save this document as template:
(a) “File > Templates > Save as template...”.
(b) Choose “My Templates”.
(c) Click “Save”.
(d) Insert any template name, then OK. The template manager is closed. Hence it
seems that the template has been saved.
[7] Try to create a new text document with the new template: File > New >
Templates. The template manager opens but the template “saved” at step 6d is
not displayed and hence has not been saved.
Expected behaviour: At step 6d a message should be displayed, that the template
can not be saved due to missing access rights.
It took me some time to understand why I was not able to save a template,
because first it was not obvious why this function does not work. I did not
remember, why and when I marked a read-only folder as default path for new
templates. So it was a bit annoying.
Generally there is a risk of data loss, if a user who creates a template trusts
in the save function and then closes the document without saving.
