Barbara, in your review of the Writer Guide chapter on master
documents,
in
the section on splitting a document into master and subdocs, youleft a
note
to say that you did not see the "separated by:" list on the Name and
Path
of
Master Document dialog box; all you saw was "template".
I have now tested the instructions in that section on Windows XP,
Windows
7,
Mac OS X, and Ubuntu 10.10. On Windows (XP and 7) and Mac, the dialog
box
shows a "separated by:" list, as described; however, on Ubuntu the
list
was
called "Styles". I'm trying to work out what you could have done to
give
a
different result. Perhaps you'd like to try it again?
Actually, if you have selected "Use LibreOffice Open/Save dialogs" in
the Options, you'll see "separated by:" in Name and Path of Master
Document dialog on Ubuntu, too.

Oh. Er, yes. Silly me. Thanks! That also explains why some other
dialogs
looked different from what I was expecting. And it's a good reminder to
all
of us to check/tick/select/enable/whatever that option.
Hal
Sorry, this one got lost in the flood of mail. It didn't occur to me
that
this option was involved, I've fixed it now. I don't know if all the
dialog
differences I saw were from this, but I don't think all of them were in
any
way related to load/save actions.
That option appears to affect many dialogs that are not apparently
related
to load/save actions (though they might be, from a behind-the-scenes
programming POV.
However, in this case it only affected the appearance of the dialog, not
the
wording of the fields and drop-down lists (except on Linux), so you should
have seen "separated by" regardless.
Hal
Maybe "should have" -- but didn't. I've repeated the process with the
option set, and it worked; without the option, no separate files were
created at all (unless they went to some temporary location different from
where I sent the master doc, which was to the Desktop for easy temporary
access). Not only the wording was different, but the underlying function.
This sounds like something that is worth trying to diagnose, because it
worked fine for me without the "use LibO dialog" option being selected. On
Mac and Win, I saw the expected field name (separated by) on the dialog, and
the files were created as they were supposed to. On Ubuntu, the field name
was different (Styles) but the function still worked.
Hal
I'm using Win7 Home Premium and a pretty vanilla Classic-type setup, and here (assuming the
clipboard paste works) is what I see when I don't use LibO dialogs:
And here it is with the LibO dialogs:
When I tried today with the native dialogs, it worked (once I put in a name, until then it just
hung) -- last time it created an odm file on the desktop but no visible odt parts, although the
whole document was visible and not obviously different. With the LibO dialogs, everything works as
expected. I can't explain why the different behavior, I'm still using the same 3.3.0-Build 4 version
of LibO (not sure whether to go to the 3.3.0 final or the 3.3.1 RC ) So I guess the earlier behavior
just has to be chalked up as a fluke. :-(
