Bug ID: 150873
Summary: Links / URLs to document aliases don't seem to work
(MacOS).
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: macOS (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: thms.mae...@gmail.com
Description:
Creating a link to a document works fine in LO for MacOS, but, in the case of
aliases, ends up failing and opening the Terminal application instead.
The alias file should be simply passed to the Finder which will resolve it and
open the original document.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Take any file (PDF, LO, JPEG) & make a MacOS alias to it.
2. In LO (Writer, Calc, …), make a document link to the alias
(One needs to change the name manually, as using the file selection dialog will
choose the original file).
3. Click on the link to open the file
Actual Results:
Instead of opening the file referred to by the alias, the Terminal application
is somehow opened instead, and the alias is not activated.
Expected Results:
The alias should be processed as when opening it in the MacOS Finder: the
original file referred by it is opened.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
An Applescript command (tell app Finder to open…) will handle aliases
correctly, because the system will resolve the alias and then choose the right
application to open the file.
Somehow, this works for direct document links in LO, but not for aliases, which
are handled differently, ending up opening the Terminal application for some
reason.
Aliases should be simply passed to the Finder, which is able to resolve them.
