Comment 2 episteme promeneur 2011-10-16 10:43:04 CEST
with mandriva 2010.2 and OOO 3.2.1
no pb

with mandriva 2010.2 and LO 3.4.3

also LO use its own file picker instead of kde file picker to open or save a file.

Does this work with LibreOffice in other distro's, does anybody know? 

I didn't find anything upstream, I tried several search strings, like https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=ALL+libreoffice+%22file+manager%22+%22new+document%22 

And I wonder how many people used this feature for OOo, I never knew it was there.

Thx for checking

cc'ing some people of whom I think they're familiar with different distro's

@ Remco
@ Frederik
@ Isadora

If you have a non-Mageia distro with Libre Office and with KDE, can you please tell whether you can create a LO document by:
* right clicking in a folder in Dolphin and then
* choosing to create a LO document in the context menu that appears?

Comment 9 isadora 2012-01-25 15:27:03 CET
It is possible to create new text-documents, or spreadsheets and such,
but.........not through LibreOffice from a standard point-of-view.

When creating by right-clicking in a "Dolphin-folder", such actions will
point one to the KDE-applications, like KWord and KSpread.

Probably this attitude is possible to be overwritten, but not through "System
Settings", or through Dolphin itself, afaics.

This is what i learned from the options in Fedora 16.

@ Isa dora

Thanks :)

Well, this isn't possible in Fedora either, so it looks more like an upstream issue or choice.


@ D Morgan
@ mikala

Is it wrong to think that this can only be fixed in Dolphin and that there is nothing LibreOffice can do to make this possible?

(in KDE bugzilla I didn't find a bug report/ enhancement request about this issue, btw)

Comment 11 Manuel Hiebel 2012-11-05 16:53:12 CET
This message is a reminder that Mageia 1 is nearing its end of life. 
In approximately 25 days from now, Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing 
updates for Mageia 1. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it 
remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '1'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version prior to Mageia 1's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not 
be able to fix it before Mageia 1 is end of life.  If you would still like to see 
this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, 
you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version 
of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Mageia 1 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on ''1st December''. Mageia 1 is no 
longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or 
bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. 

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia 
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
