[libreoffice-users] Spam, spam, spam
Since I subscribed to this list, the amount of spam e-mails going to this account went from zero (in the years that I've had this address) to nine over a 3-day period. There were even a couple of 419 jobs in there... I haven't seen one of those for at least a year on any of my accounts. There isn't anything silly going on with this list like a publicly-accessible list of subscribers is there, or the entire e-mail content including e-mail addresses available to view via web page? -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] Problem: LibreOffice remembers the last folder I was in (open/save dialog)
Platform: Win7 SP1 64-bit LibreOffice 3.4.3 release (though I have had this problem with OpenOffice and LibreOffice since I started using Win7) If I do File Open and open a document from there (which isn't in the default documents folder), then close LibreOffice, re-start it and do File Open again, it opens the location that I went to for the previous document. The same applies for the save dialog. My workaround at present is to enable 'use libreoffice dialogs' in Tools Options, but that is quite a feature-light UI in comparison. It doesn't matter whether I use Writer, Calc or Impress. Also, if I start by using Writer but close LO and move on to say Impress, then Impress remembers the path I last loaded/saved in with Writer. I've also seen this behaviour on more than one fresh install Win7 64-bit / OpenOffice / LibreOffice, and while I haven't tested it for this behaviour on every OS install I've done that includes Open/LibreOffice, on every one I've tested it, it had the problem. Is there an option somewhere to control this behaviour? -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

It might be worth posting a bug-report and put wishlist in the subject-line along with a couple of words to describe it. I really like the default but it might be nice to have a choice of being able to change that. Perhaps googling it might give a good link? There might be a blog or guide or something written for OpenOffice and that would probably work in LibreOffice too. Which behaviour are you seeing (and what OS), out of curiosity? Sorry i haven't been particularly helpful! I guess try posting a bug-report as a wishlist item and then if you find a better answer you could always give the link and close the report.

It' more in the nature of how to design the UI rather than a defect in the Suite. I used MSO both in corporate environments and personally for many years. Rarely did I use M$'s My Documents as the storage location for any document. In MSO, it is My Documents that is the default location for any File Open or File Save operation. MSO insistence on having My Documents be the default location was a universal hindrance. We in IT constantly struggled to thwart it. The most we could do was redirect it to a networked share. It is not clear in Mike's posting what exactly he would like the behavior to be. I would hope Mike is not requesting the M$ paradigm. I prefer the existing behavior in LO. Mike's suggestion about an option somewhere to control this behaviour? is very worthy. Some will like the My Documents paradigm; me, not so much. I most frequently use the Recent Documents list within LO. The 10 listed items there are just right historical coverage. Respectfully blustering, --David S.

I would hope Mike is not requesting the M$ paradigm. I prefer the existing behavior in LO. I was under the impression that the behaviour I'm seeing with LO on Win7 was a bug, as it didn't happen for me at all on WinXP. So to begin with, what you refer to as the MS paradigm is what I'm used to, partly through using MSO and partly through OO/LO on Win7. I'm not implying what I think the behaviour ought to be in this paragraph btw, just stating how I'm used to things. When using the LO dialogs, trying to open a document or save a new one opens the default documents folder. I've previously asked for help when I was using OpenOffice, and it seemed to be the case that some people were seeing the same behaviour that I was and others weren't: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=104648highlight= If the behaviour I'm seeing is the intended behaviour, then an option to configure that behaviour between 'default documents folder' and 'last used folder' would be much appreciated.
