I failed to reproduce this behaviour on LO 3.6.0.4 Windows Vista 32bit. The file saved OK the second time. I wonder if there is something about your environment that is causing this. What version of Windows are you using? Does the bug happen if you save anywhere else? Or only when you save to the desktop? Does the bug happen if you save other types of Writer files to the desktop? Or just when doing mail merge? Hi, at first i detected that i do not have any problems if i install Libre Office as custom installation without windows explorer extensions. I tried the last release of LibreOffice 3.6.1.2 and had the same problem if windows explorer extensions was installed. Platform: Windows 7 x64 I could not reproduce the error like i described it in my first comment, because of an other error (i will create a separate bug report for it). Please try to reproduce the error as follows: Steps to reproduce: I - register database 1. open attached myspreadsheet.ods with calc 2. goto file -> new -> database 3. select "connect to an existing database" --> spreadsheet -> next 4. browse to "myspreadsheet.ods" 5. goto next and choose yes register database 6. goto finish and save the database as "mydatabase" on your desktop II - print formletter 7. next open the attached formletter "myformletter.odt" 8. got to File -> Print 9. Press yes on question "...Do you want to print a form letter" 10. In the next "Mail Merge" Window Select Output -> File 11. Press OK 12. In the next File Save Dialog, choose Desktop as path and give "a" as file name 13. Press Save button 14. repeat steps from 3 to 8 and let overwrite previous output file a.odt --> Windows Explorer crashes I could reproduce the error only if i saved both the database file and the formletter print on desktop. I could reproduce this on LO 3.6.1.2 on Vista Professional 32bit The one thing I should add is that initially Windows explorer did not crash (after following all the steps). Around 5-10 seconds after saving was complete, I switched to view the desktop to confirm that the files had been saved there and a few seconds after doing that, a window appeared telling me that explorer had crashed. As far as I am aware, I do not have any "windows explorer extensions" installed, as mentioned by the bug reporter. hola escribo desde España acaba de donar 5 euros para poder actualizar el programa por que no se quieren guardar los archivos es por esto que lo tengo que actualizar y no se actualiza a ver que pasa por que 5 euros son muchos para mi no me lo gano tan fácil si no me funciona en dos horas os denuncio directamente por obligar dicha donación en este caso de otra forma no se actualiza pero yo lo hice la donación asi que necesito trabajar ya Adding self to CC if not already on |
