LTS The default working dir is hard coded to ~/Documents (Optionen -> Pfade -> Arbeitsverzeichnis -> Standard) If this folder does not exists, it falls back to ~ This creates odd situations since only the "xdg-user-dir DOCUMENTS" folder, in my case ~/Dokumente is on the Nautilus short cuts list, I had to redo my saved work, because I have assumed it was lost in ~/Dokumente I was able to fixed this for my family by changing the working directory in preferences manually. I had a bief look into the source https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/blob/b5867945d67dba505d0629e5e41fdc52bc78bfee/shell/source/backends/desktopbe/desktopbackend.cxx#L245 And it looks like using "xdg-user-dir DOCUMENTS" is intended. It is done by accessing directly the "~/.config/user-dirs.dirs" file. Maybe it fails somewhere? The xdg-user-dir DOCUMENTS" call works fine on the command line. This is my ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs # This file is written by xdg-user-dirs-update # If you want to change or add directories, just edit the line you're # interested in. All local changes will be retained on the next run # Format is XDG_xxx_DIR="$HOME/yyy", where yyy is a shell-escaped # homedir-relative path, or XDG_xxx_DIR="/yyy", where /yyy is an # absolute path. No other format is supported. # XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads" XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Vorlagen" XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Öffentlich" XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Dokumente" XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Musik" XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Bilder" XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos" I suggest to change the default working dir to the output of the "xdg-user-dir DOCUMENTS" call. That is hopeful future proof format changes Steps to Reproduce: 1. cereate ~/Documents on a German Ubuntu 2. save a file 3. Whatch the folder opened by the file save dialogue Actual Results: file is saved at ~/Documents Expected Results: file should be saved at ~Dokumente "call xdg-user-dir DOCUMENTS" to set the default working dir Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 6.0.3.2 Build-ID: 1:6.0.3-0ubuntu1 CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Linux 4.15; UI-Render: Standard; VCL: gtk3; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); Calc: group Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1792017/comments/7 ** Changed in: df-libreoffice Status: Unknown => New ** Changed in: df-libreoffice Importance: Unknown => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792017 Title: Default directory for my documents is not xdg-user-dir DOCUMENTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/1792017/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
