--- Comment #10 from Nadav Har'El <[email protected]> ---
I am also really annoyed by this missing feature, which anyone who actually
uses a shell expects. To explain why this lack is annoying, consider what
happens when I am in some directory /some/directory/deep/deep/in/the/hierarchy,
and want to create a new document there. All I can do is run "ooffice --writer"
and then use "save as" which will start in my home directory, not in the
current directory I was in, and it's a pain to put the file where I originally
wanted it.

Robert's workaround in comment 4 is nice, but I'd prefer the file not to be
saved until I actually do. In other words, here is what I expect to happen:

If I do "ooffice file.odt", and file.odt doesn't exist yet, file.odt wouldn't
be created yet. Rather, "ooffice file.odt" will behave exactly like "ooffice
--writer" (open a new document window), and the only difference would be that
openoffice remember the name of the file so when I press "Save" (not "Save as")
it will written to the file I originally chose. If I don't "Save", the file
will never be created.

This is how Unix editors, e.g., vi, behave, and is the most useful behavior for
people who run commands in the shell.

BTW, the link above the same bug report in OpenOffice is dead. Here is an
up-to-date link: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=6077
