--- Comment #5 from Pedro <pedl...@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Matthias Seidel from comment #3) > I now installed AOO 4.1.5 (de) on Windows 7 Pro (64bit) and still can not > reproduce it. Ok. I think I found it. The problem only occurs when using the OpenOffice dialogs (under Tools, Option, OpenOffice, General, Open/Save dialogs "Use OpenOffice dialogs" If that option is not checked using the Windows Save dialog does allow to name the file anything. I just tested with LO 5.3.7 and what they do is instead of the error message, the file is saved with whatever is before the # character (e.g. Bug#1 is saved as "Bug" without any extension). So the bug is not fixed in LO, it is just a different mistake. Why can't the # character be used in the OpenOffice dialog? Testing with the character : (which I know is not allowed) provides a different error message (but not clearer) Using the Windows dialog when testing with : I do get a logical message "The file name is not valid" -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
