(Oh, I also have a collegue who uses OpenOffice, and tells me that he has no troubles saving OpenOffice files from his desktop . . . so I am aware that this issue is probably specific to my own computer set-up or configuration.)

I tested and have no problem saved from a file on my desktop.

I am on a Macintosh machine running Mac OS 10.11.6 El Capitan. I am running OpenOffive 4.1.3. I am familiar with ‘invisible’ locked files from my use of InDesign, which creates a visible locked file when it opens. (I am able to open and save InDesign files from my desktop without crashing issues.)

The OpenOffice crashes that I suffer occur when I have opened an OpenOffice file that /resides on my desktop /and then attempt to “Save-As” . . . see the attached screen shot for the resulting error message.

This list does not accept attachments. Please give error message or post image on a site you can give a link to. It seems your problem is specific to your machine. More information is needed. Sounds like a problem with your Mac, not with OpenOffice.

(As a side note, I do not experience this behavior with any other type of file.) If I move the same OpenOffice file into a folder — /even a folder that is on my desktop/ — open it, and do a “Save-As” into its location . . . the file saves, without any problems. /However, if I try to save the same file to my desktop — OpenOffice crashes/.
