This regression was introduced before branch 4.4, thus it can't be bibisected
with the current bibisect repositories. Changing keyword 'notBibisectable' to
'preBibisect'

 The behaviour changed due to fix of bug 42122. The relevant commit is
 28300209604ee1bb8e5050322b29e95a07f679d8.

Sounds like the behavior is confirmed with this commit, so changing status from
UNCONFIRMED to NEW.

Well, I didn't do the workaround, but Andreas added in the GUI support to
change it directly.

So, the overall problem is solved.

However, there would still be a bug/regression of why it changed behavior of
overwriting the symbolic link rather than using it. It should honor a symlink
setup in the filesystem.

Granted, now it would be a minor issue, as not many people use symlinks on
NTFS, and the GUI solution is more correct anyway.

Jon, does the workaround Andras mentions in comment 8 work for you?

A whole lot of commits to:

git log -u linguistic/source/dicimp.cxx

which is where the issue will be, including Michael Stahl's fix of my fix :-)

It's somewhat unclear to me that putting arbitrary symbolic links into your
home directory is something that we can support.

The atomic overwrite of those files is important for not (ever) loosing data 
while writing, I guess we could try to move the operation into the linktarget
in this case but ...

Patches much appreciated.

--- Comment #6 from Jon Grossart j...@grossart.net ---
And I guess the other point might (and perhaps unrelated to a direct LibO fix
and maybe on of the support libraries), why is a file overwrite ignoring the
symbolic link and overwriting instead. I would think that the file write should
honor that link transparently to LibO, as I assume it would in Linux as well.

That being said, I doubt symbolic links in NTFS are all that well supported, as
they are fairly uncommon.

(In reply to comment #4)
 It's somewhat unclear to me that putting arbitrary symbolic links into your
 home directory is something that we can support.

Actually, I don't disagree. Using symbolic links is sort of hack anyway
(especially for NTFS).

My concern is that it worked fine until 4.1.

In all actuality, I think the feature request I made in 36558 is the real
solution. If the user can specify where to put templates and other such user
specific items, why can't the user add directories to search for custom
dictionaries.

Wouldn't this also be needed in corporate offices where they might make a
custom workplace wide dictionary that everyone needs to pull in and might be
updated more often than a corporate controlled reinstall?

I just checking in an Ubuntu 13.04 VM using LibO 4.0.4.2 works as expected with
symbolic link.

LibO 4.1.0.4 also works as expected with symbolic link. (installed from LibO
PPA).

So, the change seems to have only affected the Windows version with NTFS
symbolic links.

--- Comment #8 from Andras Timar tima...@gmail.com ---
 Since it's not possible to add a user-specified directory for user 
 dictionaries (bug 36558)

It's been always possible to set this property, although not from the GUI. But
you can always edit registrymodifications.xcu. E.g. I set my dictionary path to
my home directory in the example below.

item
oor:path=/org.openoffice.Office.Paths/Paths/org.openoffice.Office.Paths:NamedPath['Dictionary']prop
oor:name=UserPaths oor:op=fusevalue/value/prop/item
item
oor:path=/org.openoffice.Office.Paths/Paths/org.openoffice.Office.Paths:NamedPath['Dictionary']prop
oor:name=WritePath oor:op=fusevalue$(home)/value/prop/item

Nevertheless, I fixed bug 36558, so you can set it up from GUI, too.

It's not an enhancement. It's a regression. The behavior changed from 4.0.4 to
4.1

It used to work how it should -- the new file was written honoring the symbolic
link. Now, it overwrites the symbolic link. That is a bug.

This is because a new file is creating each time it is modified.

As a work-around, try to link the entire 'workbook' directory.
