[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1792017] Re: wrong default working dir
Can you share the contents of ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs ? I can confirm that if I switch to Spanish AND create ~/Documents before ever launching libreoffice, then the default folder for my documents is set to /home/username/Documents, whereas if that folder doesn't exist it is set to /home/username. So there's clearly some buggy behaviour here. ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Summary changed: - wrong default working dir + Default directory for my documents is not localized ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792017 Title: Default directory for my documents is not localized Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The default working dir is hard coded to ~/Documents I had to redo my saved work, because I have assumed it was lost in ~/Dokumente I have now fixed this by changing the working directory manually.

I have testes with LibreOffice 4.2.8.2. It also fails to read "Dokumente" but this version falls back to the "/home/username" even if "Documents" exists. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792017 Title: wrong default working dir Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The default working dir is hard coded to ~/Documents I had to redo my saved work, because I have assumed it was lost in ~/Dokumente I have now fixed this by changing the working directory manually.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1792017] Re: wrong default working dir
I have a German installation and it is the Optionen -> Pfade -> Arbeitsverzeichnis -> Standard In your side note you have described my issue. For some reasons (maybe a faulty app has created it) I have the folder ~/Dokumente and ~/Documents. So unlike in your Spanish example it does not pick "/home/username" as fallback, it picks "/home/username/Documents where I do not have a Natilus shortcut for and so almost hidden. I had a bief look into the source https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/blob/b5867945d67dba505d0629e5e41fdc52bc78bfee/shell/source/backends/desktopbe/desktopbackend.cxx#L245 And it looks like using "xdg-user-dir DOCUMENTS" is intended. It is done by accessing directly the "~/.config/user-dirs.dirs" file. Maybe it fails somewhere? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792017 Title: wrong default working dir Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The default working dir is hard coded to ~/Documents I had to redo my saved work, because I have assumed it was lost in ~/Dokumente I have now fixed this by changing the working directory manually.

Can you please elaborate by what you mean by "the default working dir"? A side note (might be related): without any previous libreoffice profile directory (in a clean VM), I changed the locale to Spanish, restarted the session and ran libreoffice, and in the "Options > Paths" settings, the path to "my documents" is set to "/home/username", instead of "/home/username/Documents" when the locale is French (my default, and it happens that "Documents" is the exact same word in English and French). ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792017 Title: wrong default working dir Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The default working dir is hard coded to ~/Documents I had to redo my saved work, because I have assumed it was lost in ~/Dokumente I have now fixed this by changing the working directory manually.
