Description Ariel David Moya Sequeira 2013-10-24 15:49:28 UTC 
Problem description: 

When a file picker is created using the following code, the directory and filename are not set when the file picker is shown. This happens only in Windows; in Ubuntu 12.10 (using LibreOffice 3.6 from APT) it works as expected.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new extension which shows a file picker using the code mentioned above.
2. Install the extension in LibreOffice in Windows.
2. Run LibreOffice in Windows.
3. Open an LibreOffice-compatible document.
4. Run the extension.

Current behavior:
The file picker doesn't start where the opened document is saved nor the filename of the document is set as default filename.

Expected behavior:
The default directory and filename of the file picker is the same as the opened document.
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: Inherited From OOo

The code in Java is as follows. Here, "originalUrl" is the URL taken from the currently open document; "Environment" is just a helper class to retrieve some information about the opened document.

Object oFilePicker = component_factory.createInstanceWithContext("com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.FilePicker", Environment.getContext());
XFilePicker xFilePicker = (XFilePicker) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XFilePicker.class, oFilePicker);

xFilePicker.setMultiSelectionMode(false);
if (originalUrl == null) {
	xFilePicker.setDisplayDirectory(Environment.getHomeDir());
	xFilePicker.setDefaultName("");
}
else {
	int idx = originalUrl.lastIndexOf('/');
	if (idx >= 0) {
		xFilePicker.setDisplayDirectory(originalUrl.substring(0, idx));
		xFilePicker.setDefaultName(originalUrl.substring(idx+1));
	}
}

According to https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=123544, it's a problem with system dialogs. A solution can be found in the link provided above.
