--- Comment #3 from Orwel <[email protected]> --- Hi, thank you for dealing with this issue. Indeed, the way I use to create a new odt and i had described is the A. True is, i NEVER create a blank document from a template inside from LO (File-New-Text document). The reason for it is I use LO also for business documents and there are 2 ways i work with new documents: either i have to look for a matching folder where i want to place a new file (which is easier in Windows/searching file program) or i have to create a new subdirectory somewhere in the folder tree, which is also easier to do in Win. And when I am pointed in this folder, it is much more quicker and easier to create a new odt through the right click menu in Win as Open LO, create a empty odt and save it in the way you have to find the matching folder again. Sure i can understand if this is not a bug although i thought it is one because i am not sure if this behaviour should be usual for an "update". In some way I can understand a full blank installation (and rewrite of registry paths) in the case of an "upgrade", but i think, when you use your own template each update (e.g. from XX.0.1 to XX.0.2) should not affect the path in the registry. Let me explain, for common users who are not able to find the way how to change Windows registry or are afraid to do it, the way (A) they create new documents (right click) has to be very muddy after the update. Or better to say - it is useless/impossible, because you can not do it without changing the registry. I think setting an own template as "default" should cause each technique (A or B) do the same. If B is not affected by an update, I think A should be neither. I am not sure if it is possible to set in the registry 2 values for the purpose as described by FutureProject 2016-01-17 - e. g. A) own template, B) default template for the case A is not working - this could be one possible solution. Other possible suggestion is to add some entry in the Custom install process to keep the old paths. I really believe that there are also other users who prefer to create a new odt directly from Windows Explorer. But this way is not possible for less skilful users who use their own templates. I believe the way you have to go inside Windows registry to fix the path after every small update is not very user-friendly. But I understand if this is not a major opinion. One more time thank you for deal with this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
