Priority: medium
Bug ID: 66860
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: Importing templates cares too much about filename
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: nbow...@draconx.ca
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.1.0.1 rc
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Attempting to import a template using the "Import" button in the dialog from
"File -> New -> Templates" behaves badly if the filename does not end in
".ott". Libreoffice will produce no error message whatsoever, but will
actually perform a copy of the file into
~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/templates
and will append a period to the file name if the filename does not currently
contain a period. Despite the apparent successful import as no error messages
were produced, the result is that the imported template does not show up in
the dialog and cannot be used. The badly-imported template, however, *does*
show up in the dialog that opens when you say "File -> Save As Template...",
which is a bit weird...
If the imported filename was 255 characters long, and did not contain a
period, libreoffice does not even successfully copy the file and still does
not produce any error message whatsoever.
Manually enaming the file in ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/templates to end
with ".ott" after the fact appears to correct the issue.
