--- Comment #5 from Richard Neill <[email protected]> --- Still true in 4.0.2.2 In every other editor, starting the editor with a non-existent filename causes it to begin a new file of that type, in the relevant directory. I do understand the rationale for the error-dialog "file doesn't exist", to help out users who made a genuine error, but perhaps it could be changed to give us a choice. Eg: Error. The file you selected wasn't found. Would you like to create a new file with that name? [cancel] [create] So, for example this should work to open a new blank presentation in the Documents/projects/penguins directory: cd Documents/projects/penguins/ libreoffice herring.odp Thanks for your time. P.S. A possible heuristic would be to look at the shell environment variables; if $PWD != $HOME, then it's highly likely that the user intended the action of creating a new file, rather than accidentally typing a broken filename. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
