I have a directory containing some 40 .odt files. I do all my editing on those. After saving them I usually do another "File - Save as" where I choose html as format (to put these on a website). I expect to save then such a document with its original name, but of course .html as suffix instead of .odt (as it worked on all previous versions). But now as soon as I select html as type, the document name is changed to a name somwhere in the midde of the alphabetical list (in my particular case, it is always the name "niel" that gets selected. I get a similar effect when I want to save a .ods file as a .xls file.
Very strange - I cannot reproduce. Can you try resetting your profile: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile
I renamed my /home/herman/.config/libreoffice/4/user to /home/herman/.config/libreoffice/4/user.old and then opened libreoffice. The problem persists.
The version of LibreOffice I have is the version that came from the Mageia installation. Should I try a newer version from your site?
herman - usually we recommend sticking with the release from your distro's repos but in this case I would indeed suggest upgrading - if you're willing to try 4.1 RC I'd say start with that. http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/
Well, before running to an rc package, I first renamed again /home/herman/.config/libreoffice/4/user to /home/herman/.config/libreoffice/4/user.old and then installed your version 4.0.4 from your site. Now the problem is gone. The report can be closed as far as I am concerned.
Do you happen to have that old profile still? If so are you willing to attach it here as a tar? Might give a hint to avoid other people's frustration.
Tar file uploaded. I have to warn you that this old profile causes the 4.0.4 version to misbehave in a different way than the 4.0.3.3 version I had before. The 4.0.4 version has a problem in the following way: Open an XXXX.odt file (whatever XXXX may be) Edit it Use "File - save as" and select as file type html. Save. The result is that it has created a file XXXX.odt.html instead of XXXX.html. With the newly created profile, this does not happen in 4.0.4, because in the "File- save as" dialogue the .odt suffix in the name field gets deleted.
The resulting tar file (tar.gz) is 12Mb, which is refused as too large. Are there folders that I could exclude from the tar file?
i've uploaded the full profile at http://www.hermanviaene.be/libreofficebugs/ Plse tell me when you downloaded the file, so I can reclaim the space.
