It happened way back before I had finally decided to bite the bullet and spend the time to figure out how to report a bug in the massively over-complicated OOo bug tracker (at least it has gotten better since) - but I do recall discussing this somewhere - probably one of these lists - and being told that it was an 'improvement'. > If they shoot you down, then change it to enhancement and convince > others to vote on it.

How about because it is the way OOo worked for years? And I refuse to believe that no one can see the use case for being able to edit a document that resides n a directory where the user doesn't have *create* privileges. There is a difference with 'modify' and 'create' permissions. So, again, in this respect, it is a bug, not an enhancement request. > On the other hand, if you want it as well as a 200 of your closest > friends and relatives it is more likely to receive attention. You mean like the hundreds of votes (in just a few days) for the color icons being restored? Or the 473 votes for support for SVG garnered in 9 years? Sorry, I have better things to do than waste my time. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
