Bug ID: 158330
Summary: .otp file extension no longer causes 'template'
behaviour?
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.8.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
.otp, .ott etc extensions used to cause LibreOffice to open new files based on
a template. That behaviour seems to have gone away, and an .otp file on my
system behaves exactly the same as the .odp file that I started with.
This open-as-template behaviour (which I believe was supported in the past) is
useful, since one can have per-project presentation templates that need to be
followed. It is not convenient for templates to be filed away in a mysterious
internal folder by LO, given that working on projects files need to be saved in
shared-access project folder.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.create .odp file
2.rename to .otp file
3.open the file
Actual Results:
file opens and can be edited and saved as normal
Expected Results:
expected a 'new' file that, if saved, would prompt a filename for where to save
it.
(if I wanted to edit the template itself, I would use the file-open menu in LO
itself)
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
this behaviour pattern follows what is done in Word with .dot files for
example.
